As family law attorneys, every day we navigate the intricate landscape of relationships. We witness the beautiful, complicated, and often times troubled tapestry of human connections. I want to take a moment to reflect on the profound significance of "all kinds of love" in our practice. Whether it's the the unconditional love of a parent for their child, the fractured love between divorcing spouses, or the profound love within diverse family structures, each iteration is valid and deserving of our respect and protection. In our work, we have the privilege of safeguarding bonds, creating new boundaries, and ensuring that the legal system upholds the principles of fairness, equity, and compassion. Every case we handle is an opportunity to champion love in all its forms, to advocate for the rights and well-being of individuals and families, and to foster understanding and empathy in our communities. Let us be ever mindful that our role extends beyond the courtroom. We have the power to be agents of change, to challenge outdated norms and biases, and to promote inclusivity and acceptance. By embracing diversity and championing equality, we not only fulfill our professional duties but also contribute to a more just and compassionate society. Together, let us strive to create a world where all families are valued, protected, and celebrated. #FamilyLaw #Love #Diversity #Inclusion #LegalJustice #Compassion #Equality Stephen Vertucci (He/Him)Gretchen NelsonAmanda Peek

“A new state law in Texas is now being used to question whether Black female judges running for office are qualified.The bipartisan law, titled H.B. 2384, went into effect on Sept. 1, 2023, following near-unanimous support. It centers on matters “relating to court administration, including the knowledge, efficiency, training, and transparency requirements for candidates for or holders of judicial offices.” According to KSAT, the Texas law is designed to increase judicial training and transparency as well as requirements when pursuing judicial office. However, despite its neutral language, the bill has since been wielded by some white male judges who doubt the eligibility of some of their counterparts. The Houston Chronicle reports that such measures are an attempt to make up-and-coming candidates rake in legal bills so that their campaign is over before it even starts.“ https://lnkd.in/gryJ2uJP #law #legalnews #texaslaw #equality #discrimination #diversityandinclusion #blackwoman #blacks #judges
