2026 NAWL (Un)Conference

Join JAMS neutral, Patricia K. Gillette, Esq., taking place this year on March 4-6, 2026, (Un)Conference offers an alternative to the traditional law conference format. It is an immersive, participant-driven experience held at the Rancho Bernardo Inn in San Diego for leaders in the legal profession seeking clarity, professional and personal growth, and meaningful connection.

Small group discussions and resort-based activities are designed to encourage active participation rather than passive attendance.

Participants have the opportunity to develop strong professional relationships within a community focused on growth and change.
