Message from the Chair of the New Lawyer Division
I feel like we are all waiting with bated breath for this year to finally end. Until then, there are still plenty of things to look forward to, even if they look a bit different this year.

If you keep trying hard and putting your best foot forward every day, good things will eventually happen. A good place to start is to keep your involvement with SDCBA and the New Lawyer Division.
Whether a newer or experienced lawyer, it may appropriate to seek guidance concerning one’s ethical and other obligations to clients.
As you likely are well aware, San Diego County continues to teeter on the edge of the most restrictive COVID-19 tier because of the adjusted case rate. Given our ongoing commitment to protecting our members and staff, and the continuing public health guidance for remote work where possible, we have decided to keep the physical space of the SDCBA closed for the remainder of the year.
When the COVID-19 pandemic reached the United States around March of this year, law practices in many areas of the country, including Arizona, were forced to go remote. This (sometimes bumpy) transition raised many concerns for lawyers, top among them being how to get paid by their clients.
