With so much going on this holiday season, both exciting and stressful, it may be best to focus on a few positive notes.

 

First, we would like to highlight the coalition of black communities in Alabama, especially women, who came together in record numbers to elect a progressive candidate in a state stained with a history of deep oppression.  Their leadership demonstrates how marginalized communities have a powerful collective voice in our democracy.  As a minority bar association, we should emulate these voters and do more to support our fellow communities.

 

Second, congratulations to our law student members for completing your finals, especially our 1L members.  We are sure you are looking forward to a relaxing break as opposed to frantically issue spotting and completing countless IRACs.

 

Third, thank you to Stephan and all who attended the holiday party at the Stud.  It was an absolute success, and we hope you enjoyed the drag show!

 

Finally, as we approach 2018, we want to provide you a gentle reminder to renew your membership.
