Our Esteemed Colleagues and Friends,
Welcome to the family that is the Southern California Chinese Lawyers’ Association (SCCLA). As SCCLA embarks upon a new year of remarkable service to our community, I would like to thank you all for your continued support. Your contribution to our organization, whether it is sharing your professional skills and experience with young lawyers through our Phoenix Rising and Mentoring Programs, teaching law to at-risk youth in our Blue Car Project Program or serving those in need in our monthly Pro Bono Legal Clinic, your involvement reminds me yet again of the wonderfully diverse community that serves as our organization’s backbone, our support system for which we are extremely grateful. With you, our organization has advanced with wisdom, courage and innovation for over thirty years and continues to have purpose and relevance to this day.
Founded in 1975, SCCLA is one of the oldest and largest minority bar associations in the country. Although it was once coined an “eating club” to illustrate our founders’ appreciation of sharing a good meal with good friends, SCCLA serves as a collective voice for Chinese American and Asian Pacific American lawyers in Southern California. We strive to advance the professional growth and interests of our membership, fostering fellowship and humanity, and to improve access to legal services by the broader community. SCCLA is affiliated with the Los Angeles County Bar Association (LACBA), the Asian Pacific Bar of California (ABC) and the National Asian Pacific American Bar Association (NAPABA). SCCLA works closely with other local Asian Pacific American bars and community organizations.
As the incoming president, I am deeply humbled to succeed in the sizable footsteps of the distinguished ladies and gentlemen who have served before me. I will do my best to serve SCCLA and its rich legacy faithfully and diligently, always mindful of our underlying core principle, that of committed service to others.
We are proud of SCCLA’s history of pursuing civil rights, community service, and the advancement of diversity in the legal profession and hope that we continue nurturing exceptional leaders who fearlessly wield their influence to ensure social justice and equality for all and who “give back” in meaningful ways to inspire the ideas and accomplishments of those who follow.
