The Cardozo Society of Washington State strengthens relationships among Jewish legal professionals and law students in Washington through education, leadership, and working together to enhance the quality of Jewish life in Washington, Israel and throughout the world. It is also the official Washington State Bar Association minority bar for Jewish lawyers in Washington.
Cardozo Society programming integrates legal and Jewish concerns to demonstrate the unique contributions the legal profession can make to improve the Jewish community at large.
The Cardozo Society provides opportunities for:
- continuing legal education
- socializing and professional networking
- mentoring and public service
- advocacy on issues of concern
Cardozo Society members are encouraged to take an active role in the work of tikkun olam (repairing the world) via the Jewish Federation of Greater Seattle and the Washington Jewish community.
