31st Annual Alumni Awards Gala 2022

Domestic Violence Advocacy Initiative

Skirball Cultural Center
June 9, 2022

Upon graduation, every Southwestern Law School student becomes a member of the Southwestern Law School Alumni Association. The Alumni Association’s mission is to support students during and after their time at Southwestern Law School by providing mentoring programs, legal training, and networking opportunities. The Alumni Association Board of Directors is made up of Southwestern graduates who are attorneys and judges with expertise in virtually every area of law, including criminal, civil, family, entertainment, probate, immigration, and appellate. The Alumni Association’s diverse Board of Directors is made up of men and women from communities throughout the region. The Board of Directors maintains connections with Southwestern Law School alumni everywhere, from down the street to across the globe!

In 2015, the Southwestern Law School Alumni Association created the Domestic Violence Advocacy Initiative (DVAI). Each year, DVAI fellowships are awarded to recent Southwestern graduates who, in partnership with the Levitt and Quinn Family Law Center, provide high-quality legal services to the victims and survivors of domestic violence. Since its creation, the DVAI has provided legal assistance and representation to hundreds of domestic violence survivors who otherwise would have had none. Through the DVAI and its many other programs, the Southwestern Law School Alumni Association is honored to support both Southwestern alumni and the community at large.

The Southwestern Law School Alumni Association invites all Southwestern Law School alumni to get involved! Visit swlaw.edu/alumni to learn more about the Alumni Association and how you can host an event, join a committee, or mentor a current Southwestern Law School student.

Erin is a former 18 year State Bar prosecutor now focusing on ethics consultations for small and mid-sized firms and State Bar defense.

Complicated Moral Character Submission Here’s a refined version that maintains your warm, appreciative tone while improving flow and clarity:



I had an excellent experience with Erin Joyce Law. While my case did not involve a serious offense, it required extensive narrative drafting and a number of supporting exhibits. As a full-time business owner, I had limited time and bandwidth to manage the complexities of my response and rehabilitation plan. Erin Joyce Law stepped in and took the reins—guiding me through every step so I could stay focused on work. I’m deeply grateful for the team’s patience, diligence, and support throughout.

Robin Brune was exceptionally detail-oriented and demonstrated a strong awareness of risk management. Yessenia Valadez and Jody Webber did a great job clearly and consistently conveying important information to me. Everyone at this firm was not only professional, but genuinely pleasant to interact with. Highly recommended.
