Each year proceeds benefit a local charity with the year's event raising $7,000 for The Girl Scouts of Mobile and Baldwin Counties.

Cunningham Bounds Sponsors Networking Event for Women

Cunningham Bounds sponsored “An Evening of Networking” for women in the Mobile area that was hosted by the Women Lawyers of the Mobile Bar Association. With almost 200 attending this signature event, professions ranged from lawyers and judges to accountants and business owners. Everyone had the opportunity to “network” with the purpose of establishing viable business contacts. The highlight of the evening was an inspiring message shared by Justice Janie Shores, the first woman elected to serve on the Alabama Supreme Court.

Proceeds from the event benefitted the Leading Edge Institute, a nonprofit mentoring and leadership program for young women focusing on business development, political involvement and public service.

According to Lucy Tufts, Cunningham Bounds attorney and president of the Mobile Bar Association Women Lawyers, the group plans to make this an annual event.

“We Do Kickin’ Right” at Young Lawyers Tournament

An enthusiastic team of Cunningham Bounds attorneys and staff played in the Young Lawyers first-ever Kickball Tournament at Battleship Park during Law Week. Cunningham Bounds was a sponsor of the event, which benefited the Mobile Bar Foundation. Despite going undefeated in the tournament, the team was eliminated from playing in the championship game by tie-breaker rules.

MBA Trailblazers Tea 2023

On June 14, 2023, the Mobile Bar Association Women Lawyers (MBAWL) hosted their 11^thAnnual Trailblazer Tea at the Battle House Hotel. This year’s Trailblazer is U.S. Magistrate Judge Sonja Bivins of the United States District Court for the Southern District of Alabama.

The Trailblazer Tea is an opportunity for the Mobile area legal community to honor our Trailblazer and celebrate women in the law. MBAWL began hosting the Trailblazer Tea in 2012 to recognize women lawyers who have defeated challenges and blazed a path for future generations of attorneys. Each year, MBAWL solicits nominations from among the Bar membership. Then, a committee of MBAWL members selects the Trailblazer Award recipient. This year, Cunningham Bounds attorney Jenna Jayjohn York served on both the planning and selection committees.

Cunningham Bounds is grateful for all that the MBAWL does to support the Mobile legal community and we were honored to be a sponsor of this event.
