2 weeks ago, 9 ALR members traveled to Juneau for Spring Break and stayed with some lovely hosts! Our group fully took advantage of everything Juneau had to offer and went skiing (both downhill & cross-country!!), went on some STUNNING hikes, explored the beach, sang karaoke with some judges’ clerks, and even participated in Shabbat.
They also met various members of Juneau’s legal community including judges, state senators, and public defenders. A highlight of the trip was sitting in on a legislative session & being introduced on the floor!! 🥳
