On Constitution Day, our chambers welcomed gifted high school students to discuss the Constitution, courts, and rule of law. 🇺🇸⚖️ Their thoughtful questions made the visit a joy. Later, students gathered in the Supreme Court courtroom for a presentation that brought history to life.

As a member of the ACBA Access to Justice Committee and this year’s awards committee, it was especially meaningful to nominate the Allegheny County Law Library for its important work serving and engaging our community.
It was also inspiring to celebrate so many attorneys and organizations!

Christian Bale spent roughly 17 years fighting to make this happen.
This week, his foster-care village opened in Palmdale, California: 12 homes built specifically to help keep siblings together when they enter foster care.
