This year’s dinner theme and judicial excellence award honors Justice Moreno’s principled dissent in Strauss v. Horton, the Prop. 8 case. We believe that history will show the moral and legal truth of Justice Moreno’s legal reasoning and invite you to join us in a delightful evening of justice and solidarity.
This year we plan to provide five (5) $2,000.00 scholarships to first, second and third year law students who (1) self-identify as Latina/o, (2) live, work or study in Alameda or Contra Costa counties and (3) have demonstrated their commitment to serving the social justice needs of the Latina/o community.
