New Featured Speaker Honey Kessler Amado
Honey Kessler Amado is our latest Featured Speaker!
Honey has spoken at our appellate programs several times in the past. Attorneys attending our programs love her insight and teaching style.
Not only that, but she is incredibly well respected at the court. I will never forget the time that a long-time staff attorney for the CA Appellate Court told me that the best appellate argument they ever heard was by Honey.
