PCWA June Luncheon

Creating a perfect work-life balance is tough for anyone, but it is particularly difficult in the legal field. 

For our June luncheon, we have invited a group of women attorneys and judges to lead round-table discussions about the difficulties of work-life balance, both as working moms and also as female attorneys without children.  

Our goal is to facilitate a casual discussion where our topic leaders will provide insight and our members can freely ask them how they find balance in their own lives - whether as a working mom in private practice, government practice, with a newborn, or as a female attorney without children who feels extra pressure at the office to sacrifice personal time because she doesn’t have kids at home.  Even if you no longer have school-age children, please come share your wisdom and insight!

We will have several separate group tables by topic area.  In signing up for this luncheon, we ask that you note your preferred topic area. The topics include the following:

1. Private practice moms

2. Government practice moms

3. In-house lawyer moms

4. Lawyers with newborns

5. Lawyer moms who stayed at home and later returned to the law

6. Law school student moms

7. Work-Life Balance for Women without Children, or "Empty-Nesters"

8. Other - any others who would be willing to share their insight and wisdom about finding work-life balance

 

The luncheon will be catered by Fresh Mediterranean Express.
