National Conference of Vietnamese American Attorneys

The National Conference of Vietnamese American Attorneys (“NCVAA”), in partnership with the Vietnamese American Bar Association of Northern California and the Vietnamese American Bar Association of Southern California, will hold its inaugural event in Silicon Valley on September 29 and 30, 2006. This conference will bring together, for the first time, Vietnamese American attorneys from all over the United States to discuss legal and community issues affecting Vietnamese Americans.

Vietnamese Americans continue to be one of the fastest growing communities in the United States. The Conference will offer Vietnamese American attorneys opportunities to come together to network, to hear from distinguished speakers, and to attend interesting educational programs. There will be panel discussions from our distinguished Vietnamese American judges, Hon. Thang Nguyen Barrett, Prof. Wendy Duong, Hon. Jacquelyn Nguyen, Hon. Nho Nguyen, Hon. Tu Pham (invited, but not confirmed), and Hon. Phan Quang Tue; and Vietnamese American attorneys in elected offices, Assembly member Van Tran, School Board Members Lan Quoc Nguyen and Trung Nguyen; workshop on Client Development from the perspective of Vietnamese American Attorneys James Nguyen (Partner, Foley), Tasha Nguyen (former Partner Holland & Knight), Thien Nguyen (Corporate Counsel, Qualcomm, invited but not confirmed), Thuy Thi Nguyen (General Counsel, Peralta Community College District), and Luan Tran (Partner, Lee & Tran); and required California MCLE courses from Sixth Appellate District Court of Appeal, Justice Nathan Mihara and Santa Clara County Counsel Ann Ravel, as well as other courses discussing hot issues impacting the Vietnamese American community.
