Thanks to all of you who attended FALSD’s 1st annual Wine Tasting event to benefit our scholarship program. The event was held at Wine Steals in Hillcrest. Judges, Lawyers, Law Students and some of our closest friends all had a great time. Thanks to our host, Wine Steals and our sponsors: Dress for Success San Diego, Epiphany Bake Shop, San Diego Zoo, San Diego Asian Film Foundation, Mo’olelo Performing Arts Company and Esquire Solutions. We hope to see you at next year’s Wine Tasting Event!
Judge Denny Chin was confirmed as the first Asian Pacific American federal appellate court judge outside of the Ninth Circuit, and only the fifth overall in U.S. history. It has been over five years since an Asian Pacific American has served anywhere in the country as an active federal appellate court judge. Judge Chin is the first Asian Pacific American to have been nominated to serve on a federal appellate court in 14 years.
Come out and spend an evening of wine tasting with FALSD. At the same time you will support our scholarship fund to deserving law students. There will also be a raffle including prizes such as tickets to Padre games and golf lessons! The event will be held at Wine Steals in Hillcrest on June 7, 2010 between 5:30 – 8:30 p.m.
