Today, The Law Center is closed to observe Juneteenth. We observe it as a day to remember and be warned by our shared history, and to honor the millions of enslaved souls who were freed. It is our second Independence Day.

To learn more of the history of this holiday, please see the excellent online exhibit at the National Museum of African American History & Culture: https://nmaahc.si.edu/explore/moments/juneteenth

After thorough research and peer evaluation, Rising Stars are selected as emerging leaders with high potential and proven competence. We are very proud of Cedric and the attorney he has become. Join us in congratulating him!

Memorial Day is a day to collectively pause and mourn members of the U.S. Armed Forces who have died in service to our country. We think a great way to honor those service members is to support veteran organizations. Here is an organization to consider, one that matches shelter dogs turned service dogs with wounded veterans:

To all service members out there, and their families, thank you for your sacrifices.

Attorneys Lynn Bodi and Emily Dudak Leiter of The Law Center just returned from the Annual Conference in Santa Fe for the Academy of Adoption & Assisted Reproduction Attorneys (AAAA). We are proud to share that Emily won the President's Award at the conference for her work co-chairing the Task Force on the ART Ethics Code over the last two years. Emily has led efforts for the Academy to revise and update its Ethics Code for assisted reproduction attorneys. In addition, Lynn and Emily both spoke at the conference: Lynn on insurance in surrogacy cases and Emily on ethics. It was a great conference all around! And holy cow was Santa Fe gorgeous! Our firm is so grateful for the dedicated work of the Academy on behalf of children and families and is proud to have three of our attorneys as fellows.

Today we honor our home: Earth. This U.S. national holiday was created by U.S. Senator and environmental activist Ga***rd Nelson, a Wisconsinite, in 1970 to raise awareness of environmental conservation and to help develop policy around the world to protect our environment and ecosystems. If you are interested in helping protect our beautiful home state, the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources will be hosting park clean up days throughout the state this month: https://dnr.wisconsin.gov/taxonomy/term/9596
