Looking back on an incredible evening at our 7th Annual Judicial Reception!

This was an opportunity to celebrate not only two remarkable honorees—Judge Sophia Choi and Steven Harmon—but also the strength of the Riverside legal community as a whole.

One of the things that makes our profession so meaningful is the people who invest their time, wisdom, and leadership into helping others grow. This year’s honorees embody that spirit. Their careers have left a lasting impact on our courts, our profession, and the attorneys who have had the privilege of learning from them.

To everyone who attended, sponsored, volunteered, and supported this event—thank you. Your commitment to our legal community is what makes gatherings like this possible.

As we look back on this year’s reception, we’re reminded that the future of our profession is built through mentorship, service, and community. We are grateful to be part of that tradition and excited for what lies ahead for Barristers.

Introducing our 2026 Barristers Judicial Officer of the Year: Hon. Sophia Choi.

20 years ago, Judge Choi was a young attorney getting involved in the Barristers Association and Riverside County Bar Association for the very first time. What she found there were mentors, friendships, and a legal community that helped shape both her career and her life.

Now, two decades later, she returns to that same community to be honored as our Judicial Officer of the Year.

Her message is a wise reminder to all attorneys, especially younger lawyers: get involved early, build genuine relationships, and find mentors who will guide you not only through the practice of law, but through life itself. As Judge Choi shared, the legal community becomes the people who help you through difficult seasons, teach you lessons both professionally and personally, and help shape the person you become.

Join us next Thursday, May 14 as we celebrate Hon. Sophia Choi at the RCBA Barristers Judicial Reception!

RSVP deadline is this Friday, May 8. Check the link in bio. We hope to see you there!
