Welcome to our inaugural year of Stepping into Connections, where we are expanding upon the success of the Tables for Eight program and taking members only, small group networking to the outdoors. This event is an additional option for you to get to know your fellow members and develop mentor relationships with other attorneys and judges while walking in areas within the Fourth Judicial Circuit.

Stepping into Connections is a walking activity, led by one of our gracious members in a community or geographic area of the member's choosing. Stepping into Connections walks are limited to ten members.  We hope to fill each walking activity with two law students, two seasoned attorneys, two judges, two young lawyers (lawyers under 36 and new Florida Bar members for the first 5 years), and two community members.  Dates and times vary and are listed in the registration form. We are excited about this new activity and hope you will come join us on our walks!

*If you are interested in leading a Stepping into Connections walk, please contact marquita.green@jaxlegalaid.org*
