SUMMARY:Capitol Hill Chapter Presents: WHAT GIRLS NEED: How to Raise Bold\, Courageous\, and Resilient Women  By Marisa Porges\, PhD.
DESCRIPTION:Known for her work on leadership\, education\, and national security\, Porges combines lessons she learned throughout her career with the practices she is developing at The Baldwin School\, to help today’s girls cultivate the skills they need to become tomorrow’s leading women. The ways we define leadership are changing\, and the women now stepping into leadership roles are mapping new paths to inhabiting traits such as grit\, resilience\, audacity\, and self-confidence. The lessons Porges shares in WHAT GIRLS NEED prepares the next generation to confidently hold their own later in life in whatever fields they enter and no matter what challenges they face. WHAT GIRLS NEED demonstrates how to celebrate and own the traits which might have been undervalued in the past but which are more critical than ever today and will make the biggest difference in decades to come – including empathy\, collaboration\, and adaptability. Given the added pressure now placed on children because of school closures and the unfolding public health crisis\, there is no better time to ensure parents know the most effective strategies for nurturing their daughters’ courage and resilience. \nAs a former student at The Baldwin School outside Philadelphia\, Porges was raised in a community designed to produce strong\, independent women. After earning a BA in geophysics from Harvard\, she fulfilled her childhood dream of flying jets off aircraft carriers for the U.S. Navy before serving as a counterterrorism expert in Afghanistan\, and as a senior advisor in the Obama White House. In 2016\, in an unexpected move for someone whose ambitions had taken her so far from home\, Porges returned to head The Baldwin School. In doing so\, she began to see with great clarity how small moments in her early education gave her the tools she would eventually sharpen and deploy to excel in areas that were traditionally perceived as “a man’s world.” \nSponsored by the Capitol Hill Chapter \nRegistration for this event has now closed.  \n\nAbout the Presenters\n \nDr. Marisa Porges is known for her work on leadership\, education\, and national security. She is currently the eighth head of The Baldwin School\, a 130-year-old all-girls school outside of Philadelphia renowned for academic excellence and for preparing girls to be leaders and changemakers. Prior to joining Baldwin in 2016\, Dr. Porges served in the Obama White House; was a visiting fellow at Harvard Kennedy School and at the Council on Foreign Relations\, where her research focused on worldwide counterterrorism efforts; and served in the U.S. Navy as one of eight female aviators in an air wing of about two hundred. She graduated from Harvard University\, and earned her doctorate from King’s College London\, and now lives in Bryn Mawr\, Pennsylvania\, with her family. \n\nRegistration\nRegistration for this event has now closed.  \nCancellation Policy \nNo refunds will be made for notices of cancellation received after the close of business on November 4\, 2020. No-shows will be billed. Substitutions may be made up to one business day prior to the event except as the Association otherwise agrees in writing. Please contact Ariel White at awhite@fedbar.org with cancellation and/or substitution requests. \n\nCLE\nPlease note that CLE credit will not be offered for this webinar. \n\nEmail Communication Policy \nBy registering for this event\, you agree to receive email communications from the Federal Bar Association and affiliated sponsors of the program concerning event details\, Continuing Legal Education certification\, programming changes\, upcoming events\, surveys\, and post-event communications. \nRecording Disclaimer \nBy registering for an FBA webinar\, you agree to the recording of audio and visual content presented during the live event and consent to subsequent use of the recording by the FBA.

SUMMARY:2021 [Virtual] Thurgood Marshall Moot Court Competition
DESCRIPTION:  \nThe Younger Lawyers Division of the Federal Bar Association is pleased to announce the\nAnnual Thurgood Marshall Memorial Moot Court Competition will be held virtually March 8-12\, 2021  \n\nSeveral aspects of the competition make it one of the premier moot court competitions in the country: Historically\, every round of the competition is held at a courthouse\, as opposed to a law school or office setting. The opportunity for law students to present oral arguments in actual courtrooms is an invaluable experience. While the 2021 competition will not meet in person this year\, all rounds will be hosted via Zoom – a widely used online meeting platform by courts and the profession at large.  Second\, all of the individuals who serve as judges in the competition are actual judges\, practitioners\, or scholars. This too reinforces the “real world” experience for competitors. Finally\, as an added bonus\, each participant in the competition receives a free one-year law student membership in the Federal Bar Association. \nDates & Deadlines\nWednesday\, January 6\, 2021: Registration & Entry Fee Deadline \nFriday\, January 15\, 2021: Problem & Rules Distributed \nWednesday\, February 24\, 2021: Briefs Due (must be received by 11:59pm (ET) \nMarch 8\, 2021: Welcome and Competitor Training* \nMarch 9-12\, 2021: Oral Arguments* \nALL TIMES (ET). *All times are subject to change \n\nRegistration is closed\nVolunteer to Judge!\n\nQuestions?
