So nice they did it twice! ⚖️

Today our Senior Law Program attorneys went back to the courthouse to take the attorney's oath again as part of the 's Law Day celebration.

Same oath. Same hands raised. Still means a lot. It was a great reminder of why we do the work we do.

(Okay, now back to helping Nevada seniors!)
