Value On Top of Your Membership

"Value On Top of Your Membership" is what you'd pay at general-public pricing for what you selected above, minus what you actually pay as a member for those same things, on top of everything else membership includes. "5+" is calculated as exactly 5.

Gala savings assume the general public pays $300 (Regular price), the price most non-members would pay walking up without an early-bird registration or special-rate eligibility.

Queen's Bench members gathered at San Francisco City Hall

“My mother, Mildred W. Levin, was a member of Queen’s Bench for more than 30 years and was President in 1959. She always said she made some of her best friends through Queen’s Bench, and that it gave her valuable professional connections and opportunities. That was true for me as well.”

Judge Ina Levin Gyemant, Ret.

“I remain constantly impressed by the breadth of experience and intelligence of our members and accessibility to them, especially through our annual events. This accessibility is invaluable to both practicing attorneys and law students.”

Lisa Villasenor-Volosing

“What drew me to Queen’s Bench was that they were doing amazing things for society: drafting an amicus brief on a fundamental issue, recommending a judge for appointment, having a voice in the legislative process, and otherwise advancing equality for everyone.”

Kara Wild

“What I found at Queen’s Bench was much more than I expected: inspiring and smart women as mentors, and amazing friends who have been there every step of the way, both professionally and personally.”

Angel L. Garrett

“I first joined Queen’s Bench as a law student through its Law Student Liaison Program, and found mentors who shaped nearly every stage of my career: supporting me through bar preparation, fostering my love of family law, and guiding me through professional transitions. Today, as Chair of the Mentorship Committee, I oversee Get Into the Legal Loop, the program founded by one of my earliest mentors, Hana Hardy Gunther, and Queen’s Bench continues to strengthen my family law practice through referrals, co-counsel relationships, and a community of women leaders committed to one another’s success.”
