Hunter, Programs Co-Chair U S District Court Judge Kimberly Mueller and U.S. Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals Judge Consuelo Callahan reported on the progress of the Justice Anthony M. Kennedy Library and Learning Center, located within the Robert T. Matsui Federal Courthouse. Judge Callahan introduced us to the Learning Center and shared the Ninth Circuit s dedication to the center and its mission. Judge Mueller then explained in further detail the mission of the center and its dedication to Civics Education. She explained that repeated polls show that most citizens fundamentally do not understand our democratic system of government. Overall, testing in schools has shown that only 18% of students in Sacramento are proficient in history, and only 25% are proficient in civics. The Center rests on the belief that knowledge and public understanding of constitutional protections, checks and balances, and the operation of our justice system increases trust in that system. Because of this belief, the Center runs a teachers institute. This program allows teachers to not only better understand the system themselves, but how to make it important and relevant in our modern society. The teachers learn how to work with local cases to enhance student interest. Justice Kennedy himself is so dedicated to this project that he tends to appear either in person or by Skype to deliver a lecture and answer questions. The Center can also host community events and dedicated volunteers have devoted their time to making the Center a beautiful Judge Consuelo Callahan & Judge Kimberly Mueller and thoughtful reflection of the impact Justice Kennedy has had on our region.

Co-Chairs Julia Blair, Kim Garner and Julia Reeves, along with Vice Chairs Corrie Manning and Katie Nystrom, did a fantastic job creating an amazing evening of art, music, and fun. Preliminary numbers indicate it is our best Artfest ever raising nearly $20,000 for scholarships and community grants. Thank you to our sponsors, attendees and all the shoppers. And, congratulations to the WLS Jean C. McEvoy scholarship recipient, Michelle Evans. Already having done amazing work for our community, we look forward to seeing what else she has in store. The Bench Bar Reception followed a week later and was a great success. It was a pleasure to watch Angela Lai, former WLS board member and current SCBA President, lead the program and for me to award the WLS Karen Stevens Pedersen scholarship to our deserving recipient, Keeley Nickelson. Be sure to take a look at Treasurer Kelly Pope s article on Page 5 for more details about the event. We will gather again on October 29 for the Unity Bar celebrating diversity in our legal community and then on November 3 when WLS hosts the California Supreme Court reception in the Stanley Mosk Library and Courts Building Foyer at 914 Capitol Mall, Sacramento. The reception will honor the Court s newest members Associate Justices Mariano-Florentino Cuéllar & Leondra R. Kruger. The number of tickets available are limited and tickets are on sale now. WLS members should purchase tickets as soon as possible to ensure their ability to attend. Please note, advanced registration for this event is required. Tickets will not be available at the door. For more information contact Jennifer Hartman King (jhartmanking@kwgattorneys.com) or Stephanie Ogren (sogren@delfinomadden.com). Tickets are available online at It is easy to view these events just as fun evenings with colleagues they are, in fact, fun but more than that, these events bring the legal community together in the shared purpose of community service. We are all, at our core, public servants. I encourage you to dedicate some of your precious time to serving our community. One such worthy cause is the Anthony M. Kennedy Library and Learning Center. Be sure to check out the article on the dynamic September lunch presentation from United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit, Judge Consuelo Callahan, and United States District Court for the Eastern District, Kimberly Mueller. Sacramento has such a vast and rich legal community I am pleased to be a part of it and I look forward to seeing you at the next event. Rebecca Dietzen with WLS Jean C.

4 Page 4 Page 4 Coaching Corner WLS October WLS 2015 July Newsletter 2009 Newsletter By: Wendy A. Green, Co-Chair Publicity & Community Relations Committee This is a continuing series of articles about Coaching For Attorneys, a book written by Cami McLaren and Stephanie Finelli. Ms. Green is not a coach of any kind. H ave you ever read The Happiness Project by Gretchen Rubin? Ms. Rubin is a Yale Law graduate, was Editor-in-Chief of the Yale Law Journal, and won the Edgar M. Cullen Prize. She clerked on the U. S. Supreme Court for Justice Sandra Day O Connor and served as a chief adviser to FCC Chairman Reed Hundt. One rainy afternoon, while riding a city bus, the author asked herself, what do I want from my life? She decided to spend the next year figuring out how she could be happier and chronicled her thoughts, research, activities, and projects along the way. She began her project by identifying her twelve personal commandments, those overarching principles by which she tries to live her life. Each month she focused on specific areas of her life and analyzed and experimented with different ways she could do things, keeping her personal commandments at the forefront of everything she did. I was inspired to try my own happiness project (with my own spin on it, of course) in It struck me that Ms. Rubin s ruminations about what she wants from her life implicates her vision and her personal commandments are her purpose. Please turn to Chapter 9. What is Purpose? Purpose answers the question why - why we want to take a particular case or client, why we want to accept a particular job, why we want to grow our practice. As an attorney, whom are we meant to serve? On a broad basis, we may ask why are we here (in this law firm, in this relationship)? Knowing our purpose allows us to be purposeful, i.e., to make intentional and conscious choices. Purpose motivates us. When we have a strong sense of purpose behind what we are doing, we are more likely to bring energy and dedication to completing it efficiently and well. We should ask ourselves what value we get from doing what we do. The authors suggest that we create a purpose statement, a statement that informs our decision to practice law, what type of law we practice, and much of what we do in our lives. When we honor our purpose statement, everything we do will become easier and more fulfilling. There are many ways to create a purpose statement as evidenced by the many people who have devoted their professional lives to assisting others in preparing a purpose statement. The authors provide three exercises that will help us determine our purpose and suggest that we block out undisturbed time to do all three. First, create a timeline of your life. Get a large piece of paper and draw a horizontal line across the middle. Mark the left end as the year of your birth and the right end with your current age. Go back to your youngest memory and begin to write down significant events in your life. If it was a positive event, place it above the line. If it was a negative event, place it below the line. Begin with the things that immediately spring to mind, write them down, and then walk away. Spend some time with it each day for a week or two. When the timeline is complete, look back over and search for patterns. Those events above the line will typically be those times when you were honoring your purpose. Look for the deeper meaning of the vent, not the actual activity. Why was the event positive? Draw a distinction between the activity and the internal experience or motivation behind it. Next, look at patterns below the line. These are the times when you were not honoring your purpose. Why was a particular event a negative experience? Next, answer reflective questions in detail, listening for the why you do what you do. The exercise in the book offers 14 reflective questions, such as what makes you happiest, what activities make you lose track of time, what makes you feel great about yourself, what inspires you, what are you naturally good at, what are the aspects of your work you do not like, and what did you love as a child. Continue to ask yourself why is this true for me and what does this say about me and what is important to me? Finally, determine your values. (Remember Values-Based Living in Chapter 5?) Use your list of values to create your purpose statement. You need not use the same words but your purpose but will be consistent with your values. Now take the information you learned from the three exercises and distill it down to a statement that reflects your deeper purpose, your why you do the things you do when you are living in a way that fulfills you. Do not make your purpose hard, make it easy and fun. It does not need to be perfect and recognize that it may change and morph over time. Consider your timeline, your answers to the reflective questions, and your values. Your purpose is more about who you want to BE rather than what you want to do. Are you being productive? Are you being balanced? Are you being connected with people? There is always a state of being under whatever you are doing. When you find the right purpose statement you will feel it. It took Gretchen Rubin months to settle on her final twelve personal commandments. What is Vision? Just as purpose asks why, vision asks what. What do we want our life to look like, sound like, feel like? Vision is about doing and having. Vision is about creating something new. If we do not take the time to create our vision for our business, our life, and our future, we are unlikely to get what we want. Once we discover our vision and commit it to paper, we can set specific goals that will help us achieve our vision. So how do we create a vision that is consistent with our purpose? Continued on Page 5

5 Page 5 Page 5 Coaching Corner Continued from Page 4 WLS October WLS 2015 July Newsletter 2009 Newsletter Set aside 30 to 40 minutes of uninterrupted time. Turn off your devices and close the door. Get out your purpose and read it over a few times. Get out pen and paper (not a computer screen), close your eyes for a few minutes, and thing about what you want your life to look like. Do not impose limits on yourself. Get a clear picture of your life and business as you want them to be. When you have a clear picture, open your eyes and write your vision on the piece of paper. It is a stream of consciousness; do not worry about grammar. Be sure to write your vision in the present tense. Phrase your vision in positive terms. State your vision in a way you can clearly see it, hear it, and feel it. What do you have? What are you doing? Who is around you? How do you feel? What do you see? What do you hear? Write it all down. The next step is implementation, or the how of creating your vision. The how simply follows as a method of achieving the purpose and vision. Take your vision and break it down into manageable tasks. Close your eyes and imagine something you want, whether it is a tidier office or a family vacation. What is the first step you need to take to set the vision in motion? What is the next step? Continue to figure out what steps you need to take to create that particular vision. Then pick another piece of your vision and start the process over again. Once you have completed the exercises, frame your purpose and put it somewhere you will see it everyday. When I made my personal commandments, I posted them on my bulletin board in my office at home and at work. Read your vision and purpose daily and ask yourself if you are living your purpose at the moment. Use the purpose and vision model to decide how to proceed in at least one activity daily. Any plan of action will be quicker, more satisfying, and run more smoothly when you approach it by asking yourself why, what and then how. Parting Remarks Rick Warren, author of The Purpose-Driven Life, once said, if you re alive, there s a purpose for your life. Once you realize your purpose, your vision of where or who you want to be is the greatest asset you have. After re-reading Chapter 9, I realized that I have not been living my purpose this year, and my purpose statement needs some adjusting. I am inspired to recreate my vision. I am doing another happiness project. What about you? Are you living your purpose? Have you created your vision? If not, what better time to do it than right now? Wendy A.

If you are interested in purchasing Coaching for Attorneys, visit SCBA Bench Bar Reception WLS Awards Karen Pedersen Stevens Scholarship By: Kelly Pope, WLS Treasurer On September 24, 2015, I had the pleasure of attending the Sacramento County Bar Association s (SCBA) annual Bench- Bar Reception. This year at the Reception, SCBA honored Judge Robert Hight, Presiding Judge of the Sacramento County Superior Court, as Judge of the Year. Consistent with years past, the Reception was an elegant affair, attended by hundreds of distinguished Sacramento attorneys and judges. The Reception provided attendees an opportunity to mingle with their friends and colleagues, followed by judicial updates on the state of the Sacramento court systems. Also at the Reception, our WLS President Rebecca Dietzen presented the Karen Pedersen Stevens scholarship. WLS established the Karen Pedersen Stevens scholarship in 2008 in honor Karen Pedersen Stevens, a founding member of California Women Lawyers and Past President of Women Lawyers of Sacramento. Karen Pedersen Stevens was a passionate advocate for women s rights whose service and dedication to the legal community included her involvement on the Attorney General s Women s Rights Task Force, State Bar s board of governors, California Young Lawyers board of governors, and UOP McGeorge School of law board of directors. The Karen Pedersen Stevens Scholarship is awarded annually to a first or second year law student who either has an interest in pursuing a legal career in family law and/or has provided assistance to women and/or children. This year, WLS awarded the Karen Pedersen Stevens scholarship to Keeley Nickelson, a deserving student at McGeorge School of Law with a desire to work with clients going through divorce, custody, and property issues. We wish Ms. Nickelson the best of luck as she finishes law school and begins her career.

7 Page 7 WLS October 2015 Newsletter Ad Hoc Committee Reviews Bylaws and Provides Recommended Amendments BY: Rebecca Dietzen, WLS President Earlier this year, the WLS Board formed an ad hoc Bylaws review committee to do the following: 1) Review the current WLS Bylaws; 2) Consult with outside counsel hired by the Board, as necessary, during the committee's Bylaws review; and 3) Prepare recommendations of proposed revisions to the by-laws in order to bring the bylaws into compliance with California's laws on non-profit mutual benefit corporation governance, for the Board's consideration to include on the 2015 annual member ballot. Immediate Past President, Maralee Eriksen, graciously agreed to serve as chair of the committee and has, once again, been a phenomenal asset to the organization. I thank her for her service. Ms. Eriksen led committee members WLS Board member Ellen Arabian-Lee, Past President Joan Stone and me. We worked with outside counsel, Nancy P. Lee of Murphy, Austin, Adams & Schoenfeld, LLP. In August, the committee reported to the Board its initial recommendations, responsive to the efforts to ensure compliance with California s laws on non-profit mutual benefit corporation governance and also proposing additional revisions focused on ease of governance. The Board discussed the proposed revisions and provided feedback and questions to the committee and counsel. The committee consulted further with counsel in response to the Board s questions and concerns. In September, the committee proposed amended bylaws, which reflect additional revisions, responsive to the Board s concerns. The Board approved them for publication to the membership and for vote at the open meeting in November. Members can view the proposed bylaws in the members-only section of the website. Comments or concerns should be directed to me (rad@rdietzen.com) or Maralee Eriksen (Eriksen@meriksen.com).
