King County Women Lawyers Presents 'Women and the War in Iraq' with video appearance by Sen. Murray

Hat tip to Moni T. Law, Seattle attorney, who contacted me about this event and invited me to participate as part of the panel presenters; an offer, much to my regret, I was unable to commit to fulfill.  However, I was pleased to be able to participate in some small part in suggesting a couple of names of other women who will be speaking on the panel.  

Note the CLE educational credit which will be available in the afternoon.  A thank you to Moni and all her colleagues who collaborated to make this event happen, I am proud to share this announcement:
