City Heights Law Day

Friends of the City Heights Library are sponsoring and organizing activities for Law Day weekend, April 28 2018. We plan to have several activities which highlight the role of our system of law and justice. We would especially like the participation of members of the legal profession who serve or live locally, in San Diego’s Mid-City. To date, our committee has had several meetings and has had the committee participation of five (5) local attorneys and begun to focus the event on Saturday, April 30, 2016, between 9 AM to 5 PM, at the City Heights Library complex. On Saturday evening we are arranging a Candidates Forum for City Attorney and a participants and supporters reception. We need sponsors, participants, and persons who want to help with the logistics and staging. The program should include:

5-6 Presentations or Panels on the subjects including: Law Occupations, Schooling, and Employment; Immigration Law; Family Law; Sports and Entertainment Law; Criminal Law and Police Practices; Fair; Housing and Employment; and Small Claims and Civil Law. This is an initial list based on participation by schools, local lawyers and sponsors. Development of a Budget and fees for program sponsorships and consultation participation outreach tables

Format for City Attorney Candidate Forum, Identification of Moderators and Sponsors, and location

Format and activities for post event Reception

Planning has just begun, so we are open to all ideas and suggestions, contributions, and even full participation on the organizing committee. Initial discussions concerning topics have included seminars and presentations on law practice areas like: Family Law, Refugee and Immigration Law, Housing Law, Small Claims, Criminal Law and Clearance of FTA Warrants, and any other subject. We hope to offer presentations on careers in Law and a job fair. Additionally, we would also like presentations by the area law and paralegal schools, concerning their programs. Lastly, a networking social get together for the local legal community and participants may be included. We are completely open and welcome your ideas and participation. We invite you to our second organizing meeting at 6:30 PM, Wednesday January 13th*, at the City Heights Branch Library, 3755 Fairmount Avenue, City Heights, CA 92105*.
