Judicial Mentoring Program deadline extended to September 15
August 17, 2007
The Judicial Mentoring Project (JMP), founded by the Alameda County Bar Association (ACBA) and the East Bay Diversity Bar Coalition (EBDBC), is established to provide attorneys contemplating a career on the bench with a structured method of obtaining guidance about how to reach that goal. Experienced judges will be able to provide valuable feedback and assistance to potential judicial candidates to help them hone the necessary skills for a judicial career.
Please note!
- Deadline Extended: The application deadline has been extended to September 15, 2007.
- Confidentiality: Please note that the ACBA will preserve the privacy, confidentiality and security of the information included in applications submitted. The EBDBC subcommittee that will review applications and match mentors with mentees will be comprised of the EBDBC Co-Chairs and the ACBA Executive Director—Judge Trina Thompson Stanley, Christine Noma and Ann Wassam, respectively.
- The Handbook: You can download a copy of the Judicial Mentoring Project handbook, which includes the mentor and mentee applications.
Citizenship Fair Tomorrow, Sat. July 28
July 27, 2007
Oakland ACORN is a community organization of low to moderate income families working for social change. On Saturday, July 28th, we will be hosting a citizenship fair that will assist residents in completing their citizenship applications and connect them with other resources they will need throughout the process. As you likely know, the application fees increasing substantially on July 30th.
We are inviting you to participate in the fair by offering legal advice and information about your services to the fair’s participants. It’s important to us that participants in the fair are connected with the resources they will need throughout the citizenship process.
The fair will be Saturday, July 28th, from 9am-4pm, at 1470 Fruitvale Ave (right by the Fruitvale BART), in the Spanish Speaking Citizen’s Foundation. While we’d be thrilled if you could be there for the whole day, we recognize that’s a big commitment—whatever time you can give will be very appreciated!
For more information, please see the attached fliers. You may also visit our website: http://www.acorn.org/oakland to learn more about our organization. Also, please feel free to write or call me.
Will you be able to attend?
