ORANGE COUNTY WOMEN LAWYERS ASSOCIATION

FOR WOMEN LAWYERS AND THOSE WHO SUPPORT THEIR ADVANCEMENT

Welcome to October!

Tuesday, October 07, 2025 8:18 AM | Executive Director (Administrator)

Welcome to October!

We had a great turnout of nearly 70 people for our True Crime MCLE at the Pacific Club on September 26. My friends and former colleagues from OCDA, Matt Murphy and Heather Brown, gave the inside story of the twists and turns of the People v. Hossein Nayeri case. We are grateful to Matt and Heather for making the time to give this great presentation. Thanks also to our sponsors who made this great event possible: The Law Office of Brian Gurwitz, Moore Law for Children, Wiechert, Munk & Goldstein, PC, and SMBC Manubank. I would also like to acknowledge our venue sponsor Aaron Malo of Sheppard Mullin for securing this great venue for us. View photos

Please sign up for our final Professional Tool Kit event THIS THURSDAY at the Veronica Beard Store in Fashion Island. Bring a friend/colleague/client to see the latest styles for fall and winter while enjoying champagne. Veronica Beard is graciously donating 15% of the proceeds to the Orange County Women Lawyers Foundation, which supports non-profits supporting women and children and provides stipends to law students in Orange County.

Our BIG event this month is the celebration of our three extraordinary annual award recipients: Attorney of the Year Pamela Traut, Judge of the Year the Honorable Kimberly Menninger, and for the Advancement of Women Award, Everett Dorey LLP. We will also be celebrating the 50th anniversary of the Orange County Women Lawyers Association. The event will feature live music, delicious food and cocktails in a beautiful outdoor venue at the VEA Hotel in Newport Beach. Get your ticketsbefore the event sells out!

Two more events are happening this busy October: First, our Members-Only Book Club on October 27, led by Marketa Sims, OC Alternate Defender.

Last but not least, our Membership Committee has organized another of our popular annual Halloween Coffee Meetups on October 31. Wear your costume and register here to share some coffee and pastries with friends and colleagues.

Looking forward to seeing you at the 2025 Gala at the VEA on October 16!

Warmly,

Tracy Hughes
