President's Message Lilys McCoy Tomorrow, legal ethics experts will discuss real-life, ripped-from-the-headlines examples of tech savvy and tech sabotage in the legal field. This dynamic panel will not only bring awareness to these issues, but also provide best practices for maintaining competence while using technology in the practice of law. Learn more and register here. We are looking forward to celebrating summer with you this Wednesday at our Downtown Summer Social, with food, drink and mingling with friends. Be sure to register here and join the summer fun. Save the date for our Bench-Bar Media event taking place on August 14, where an expert panel will explore escalating threats to free courts and free press, the third and fourth branches of our democracy. This Saturday, we will march in the San Diego Pride Parade, joining fellow law-related organizations, including the Office of the District Attorney, the Office of the Public Defender, Lawyers Club of San Diego and the Tom Homann LGBT Law Association. A cultural celebration of LGBTQ identity, Pride began in the 1970s as a hopeful expression of not just tolerance, but equality and acceptance, especially self-acceptance.
