Hilton Garden Inn (Carlsbad, CA)

This retreat will gather attorneys and law students from all over the southwest, including California and Arizona.

The retreat will include great opportunities for fellowship, networking, prayer and encouragement. Registration includes two nights of lodging, breakfast on Saturday, as well as Saturday night dinner. Lunch on Saturday will be on your own. Dinner will be on your own Friday night (but we usually go out as a group to a local spot). We are building in some free time to explore the area or catch up with old friends in the schedule!

Hurry and register before the deadline of Friday, February 26, 2025 at 5 p.m. (Pacific). More details are forthcoming.
