✅ CLA got
#glamourous for the United Way California Capital Region (
@unitedwayccr) 100th Anniversary Gala. CLA's table collectively rose over $57,000 (including matching funds) toward a $3 million goal to help 10,000 kids excel in school by 2025!
✅ Law Day 2023 was a heartwarming success. CLA Leadership joined forces with Power of Democracy (
@POWofDemocracy) to meet with third and fifth-grade students in Los Angeles (
@LACity) and Sacramento (
@TheCityofSac). During these sessions, the student learned about the judicial branch and its crucial role in our government. This is just one of the ways that CLA looks out for the future of California's Legal community.
