This year marks the 47th Annual Conference of the California Association of Black Lawyers (CABL), a cornerstone event that embodies the spirit of achievement, advocacy, and advancement in the legal profession for African-American legal minds in California. Themed “A Legacy of Greatness: A Future of Promise,” the conference not only reflects on the monumental contributions of African-American attorneys, judges, and legal professionals but also looks forward to the continued journey towards justice, equality, and excellence.
A Year of Achievement
The California Association of Black Lawyers has been at the forefront of promoting diversity, equity, and inclusion within the legal community. Through its tireless efforts to eradicate racism, ensure justice within the legal system, and advocate for African-American judicial appointments, CABL has made significant strides in building a more equitable legal landscape in California. The annual conference serves as a celebration of these achievements, offering a platform to honor outstanding individuals and corporations that have made remarkable contributions to the community and the field of law.
A Gathering of Minds
The conference has historically been a gathering point for some of the most influential figures in the legal and civic community.

These distinguished guests have shared their insights, experiences, and visions for a more just and equitable society, inspiring attendees and setting the tone for meaningful change.
Looking Forward
