Congratulations to Lorraine Lee, the Angelo Petruss Award for Lawyers in Government Service recipient for the 2024 APEX Awards! This award is given to a lawyer in government service who has made a significant contribution to the legal profession, the justice system, and the public. Lee’s nominators emphasized her diligence, warmth, collaborative spirit, and optimism. In 2017, Lee established a business resource group – the Washington Immigrant Network (WIN) to highlight the untapped potential of Washington’s large population of immigrants. WIN was founded to support and expand opportunities for immigrants and serve as a resource for state agencies in creating and sustaining a diverse workforce. Seven years later, WIN has over 300 members and provides mentoring, career development, and a place where everyone can belong. Get to know Lee and the rest of the 2024 APEX Award winners. https://zurl.co/HRzo

It was an honor to deliver the keynote address at the Asian Bar Association of Washington (ABAW) Annual Gala and to receive the President's Award from Wendy Feng. I offered a cautionary tale about the danger of seeking or accepting privilege when it would maintain or strengthen broader systems of racial subordination, and that such a path is ultimately self-defeating when, despite gaining momentary privilege, you remain a racialized other. It was also great to see Washington State Bar Association President Sunitha Anjilvel, who attended the gala and brought me the APEX Award that recognized me and the Korematsu Center.

I had a blast presenting at the Washington State Bar Association Solo and Small Practice Section this weekend on the topic of "What To Do with Your Law Degree When You No Longer Want to Practice Law" with my co-presenters Dan Lear and Kevin Plachy. There are so many options for lawyers, and the audience proved it by sharing the many ways they are engaging in various roles outside of the traditional legal field (while many are also balancing their own practices). The day was made even better by the beautiful views on the ferry ride over there! #seattle #WSBA #attorney #JDadvantage #JDpreferred #careeradvisor #seattleUlaw
