The Barristers Club hosts the annual Judges Reception. Over the past 41 years, the event has grown into one of the most popular and well-attended events for state and federal judges. Each year, the reception honors a judge or justice with the Tara L. Riedley Barristers Choice Award. The award celebrates a commitment to the development of lawyers new to the profession and the courtroom.
Committee members help plan and promote the event. Proceeds from the reception support the Barristers Club and its programs. Save the date for the 41st Annual Judges Reception on June 12, 2025
This year's honoree is the Honorable Suzanne Ramos Bolanos, San Francisco Superior Court.
