"The caucuses are a great place to find a network of like-minded attorneys that become co-counsels, local attorneys, and referral sources. But more than that, they provide you with a community that believes in uplifting each other in our pursuit of meaningful work and joyful lives. The friendships and relationships you make here provide what you need to sustain a long and balanced career."
