SBA BOARD From The Editor:

If you’re anything like me, you’ve spent the weekend looking at the sunshine and really feeling summer calling. But, we’ve got one final push until we’re skinning our knees and stirring lemonade. Or, one final push until we’re working and taking night classes (or sitting in the library, studying for the bar.)

Either way, hang in there.

Have a good week, Santa Clara.

Sincerely,

Caitlin E. Robinett
