Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) November 30, 2016 -- Whether we like it or not, adversity is part of life. Yet, some people manage to overcome challenges and achieve great things. What can we learn from them?
LA Law Library is pleased to present a film screening featuring judges, justices and other legal professionals who have overcome incredible odds to achieve success. These remarkable individuals will share their personal experiences and explore questions such as:
- What obstacles to success and attainment exist in today’s society?
- Which doors have been opened? Which is still closed? Which has yet to be explored?
