California Supreme Court Justice Joyce Kennard will be in Los Angeles next week to be honored at the "Trailblazers of the Bar" event sponsored by the LA County Bar's Senior Lawyers Section, Appellate Courts Section and Family Law Section. (Family law luminary Patricia Phillips -- the first female President of the Los Angeles County Bar Association -- is also being honored.)

By the way, is there any bar logo cooler that SLS's dinosaur?
P.S. Last year's SoCal appellate honoree was 2/3's PJ Joan Dempsey Klein. If you don't know why she was honored as a trailblazer, this 50-page interview (by 2/6's PJ Arthur Gilbert) should make it clear:
