But what if there’s a better way? Attendees will learn how fostering meaningful connections within the legal community enhances decision-making\, promotes well-being\, and strengthens the profession as a whole. Through practical strategies and shared experiences\, this session\, led by Mey Ly-Ortiz\, Managing Counsel with Toyota\, will empower women attorneys to build networks that support both their careers and ethical responsibilities. It is through the power of community that we grow as individuals and as a profession – for the better of our clients. \nFriday\, April 4\n12:00PM\nArts District Mansion \n1.0 MCLE Ethics Credit \n  \n\n\n\nAdd event to calendar \n \n\n\n\n\nREGISTRATION URL:http://dallaswomenlawyers.org/events/the-power-of-community/ LOCATION:Arts District Mansion\, 2101 Ross Ave\, Dallas\, TX\, 75201\, United States CATEGORIES:Event ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:http://dallaswomenlawyers.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/Power-of-Community-1.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Chicago:20250311T180000 DTEND;TZID=America/Chicago:20250324T200000 DTSTAMP:20250407T070504Z CREATED:20250212T073629Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250407T070504Z UID:10000069-1741716000-1742846400@dallaswomenlawyers.org SUMMARY:A Law Unto Themselves Screenings DESCRIPTION:Join us for various screening dates for the historical documentary “A Law Unto Themselves: How Women Lawyers of Dallas Transformed Law and Community – Together.” \nIn this feature-length documentary\, prominent women lawyers from Dallas recount their individual and collective experiences fighting for equality within and beyond the legal profession for the last 70 years. From pioneering many “firsts” in the courts and their law firms\, to overhauling state legislation and federal law\, to leading and advocating for social change\, the accounts of these remarkable women and of the trailblazers before them remind audiences not only of an often forgotten legacy\, but also that the fight for equality under the law is far from finished–a fight that can only persevere through community and a promise for a better future together. \nDocumentary Screenings: \n\nTuesday\, March 11 @ Arts District Mansion\n\nCo-hosted by DBA Equality Committee\, J.L.Turner Legal Association\, Dallas Women Lawyers Association\, & The NEW Roundtable\, Inc.\n\n\nMonday\, March 24 @ SMU Dedman Law \nFriday\, April 18 @ UNT Dallas College of Law\n\nNOTE: Due to distribution restrictions\, these screenings are only open to members (incl. faculty\, staff\, students) of the hosting organizations.
