SUMMARY:DWLA Annual Meeting-Values In Action
DESCRIPTION:Join DWLA for our Annual Meeting on December 10th where we will vote on the 2026 Board of Directors and hear from Ann Sheu who will present a CLE on: \nValues in Action: Building Resilient Women Lawyers Who Lead with Clarity & Confidence\nWomen lawyers are known for their intellect\, perseverance\, and ability to lead under pressure. Yet in a profession that demands constant performance and perfection\, it’s easy to lose sight of what truly matters. This workshop offers a rare opportunity to step back\, reflect\, and realign—focusing not just on what you do\, but on why you do it. \nThrough guided reflection and engaging discussion\, participants will identify their core values\, explore how those values influence their leadership and decision-making\, and learn practical tools to stay grounded in moments of stress or uncertainty. When values are clear\, priorities fall into place\, communication becomes more intentional\, and leadership feels both authentic and sustainable. \nAttendees will leave with a renewed sense of clarity and confidence\, along with tangible strategies for leading themselves and others with purpose—at the firm\, in the courtroom\, and beyond. \nWhat Participants Will Gain \n\n\n\nClarity of Core Values: Identify what matters most and use it to guide confident\, values-driven decisions.\nAwareness of Triggers: Recognize stress responses and maintain composure in demanding situations.\nAuthentic Leadership Skills: Strengthen communication\, collaboration\, and emotional resilience in every context.\n\n\n\nWhen women in law lead from their values\, they lead with authenticity\, courage\, and presence. This session helps attorneys reconnect with what drives them\, creating the foundation for sustainable success and a career that feels as meaningful as it is accomplished. \nAbout our presenter: Ann Sheu \nAnn Sheu is a coach\, entrepreneur\, and founder of Mpowered Journey\, dedicated to helping families build intentional lives where professional success and personal fulfillment go hand in hand. With degrees in business\, dispute resolution\, and law from Southern Methodist University\, Ann left her legal career to focus on empowering entrepreneurial families through values-driven coaching and EOS implementation. A mother of four\, she brings firsthand insight into the art of balancing career and family\, offering practical strategies rooted in empathy and experience. Known for her approachable style and passion for personal growth\, Ann is a trusted guide for those seeking clarity\, connection\, and purpose in their lives and relationships. \nWednesday\, December 10th | 12:00p.m.Arts District Mansion\n1.0 hr MCLE Ethics credit \n \n  \nREGISTRATION\n\n  \n  \n  \n

SUMMARY:Criminal Law CLE 09.2025
DESCRIPTION:**NOTE: THIS EVENT IS NOW VIRTUAL**\nJoin us for our September CLE – “Criminal Law at the Crossroads: Success\, Ethics\, and Professionalism from Both Sides of the Bar” \nSuccess in criminal law demands more than sharp trial skills—it requires integrity\, professionalism\, and the ability to navigate the ethical challenges that define our practice. In this dynamic panel discussion\, three of Texas’s most accomplished practitioners—Cynthia Garza (Dallas County District Attorney’s Office\, Conviction Integrity Unit/Innocence Project)\, Heather Barbieri (criminal defense attorney and former President of TCDLA)\, and Kerri Anderson Donica (City Attorney\, Navarro County Attorney\, and past President of TCDLA)—bring their unique perspectives from prosecution and defense to the table. Moderated by Judge Audrey Moorehead\, this conversation will engage candidly with the issues lawyers face in pursuing justice while maintaining the highest professional standards. \nThe panel will explore what it takes to succeed in criminal practice\, balancing zealous advocacy with the duties of candor\, fairness\, and respect for the system. Through real-world scenarios\, war stories\, and lessons learned\, the speakers will examine the professional challenges that confront both prosecutors and defense lawyers—where the stakes are highest and lives are on the line. \nAttendees will walk away with practical insights on: \n\nBuilding a sustainable and successful criminal practice.\nMaintaining credibility with courts\, juries\, and opposing counsel.\nAvoiding ethical pitfalls in plea negotiations\, client communications\, and case investigation.\nUnderstanding how ethics and professionalism directly impact case outcomes and long-term reputation.\n\nOur panelists’ wealth of experience will ground the conversation in practical\, ethics-based guidance\, making this program essential for any lawyer who wants to thrive in criminal law while safeguarding their professional reputation. \n1\,0 hr MCLE Ethics Credit \nTuesday\, September 30th\n12:00pm\nVIRTUAL – Zoom info will be sent to registrants. \nAdd events to calendar \n      \n  \nREGISTRATION\n\n  \n  \n
