Cardozo Society

The Cardozo Society of Washington State is the official Washington State Bar Association minority bar for Jewish lawyers in Washington. Run by the Jewish Federation, the 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.

In an effort to strengthen relationships among Jewish attorneys and between Jewish attorneys and Jewish law students in Washington State, the Cardozo Society of Washington State, in conjunction with J-Pro, has started an annual mentor-mentee program.

We have just launched a Cardozo Society Pro Bono Program. Get involved in pro bono work with a wide variety of legal service providers and in many different practice areas throughout Washington.

Are you looking for a lawyer? Check out the Professional Directory of Jewish Washington for full listings.

Thank you to our volunteer co-chairs Aric Bomsztyk of Barokas, Martin & Tomlinson, and Aaron Kiviat of the Law Offices of Geoffrey Burg.
