If you are a lawyer with a disability or a primary caretaker of a person with a disability, we invite you to a candid conversation regarding your experiences in the legal profession and your recommendations for improvement. Please reach out to Dr. Amanda Parker at amanda.parker@sbnm.org or call 505-797-6085 to be a part of or help facilitate this session. As part of this initiative, there will be a Lunch & Learn on March 8 regarding digital accessibility for people with disabilities and whether your meetings and website is accessible to everyone! More information will be provided as the date approaches!

Join the Historical Committee of the State Bar on March 10 from noon – 1 p.m. (MT) for a Lunch & Learn on “The 1862 Confederate Invasion of the New Mexico Territory.” Hear why the invasion occurred as well as why Jefferson Davis, President of the Confederacy, personally authorized it. The presentation's speaker, Henry M. Rivera, is a partner in the Washington, DC, firm of Wiley Rein where he specialized in matters before the Federal Communications Commission, the Commerce Department, the White House and Congress. The event is free to attend both virtually and in-person at the State Bar Center. Please contact memberservices@sbnm.org for more information.

In 2023, the NM Well-Being Committee will take a closer look at what well-being really means for attorneys and legal professionals. Through a series of podcasts and articles, we’ll dive deeper to learn from members of the legal profession about their personal well-being journey; how those members moved from meeting the bare minimum requirements needed to get through the day to exceeding the bare minimum by building their inner resilience to meet challenges in their lives, making lasting changes to improve their lives and living their lives with purpose and passion; in short, to be well.
