Justice on the Job
110th Anniversary Celebration
THURSDAY, MAY 28, 2026
FOUR SEASONS HOTEL, SAN FRANCISCO
Thank you for joining us for JUSTICE ON THE JOB and helping us celebrate Legal Aid at Work’s 110th anniversary!
We were honored to hear from keynote speaker Catherine E. Lhamon and to present the Mathew O. Tobriner Public Service Award to Justice Martin J. Jenkins (Ret.) in recognition of his extraordinary leadership and commitment to justice.
We were also proud to celebrate Joan Graff and her remarkable 45 years of leadership at Legal Aid at Work. Joan has helped shape this organization into a leading force for worker justice, and it was a privilege to recognize her extraordinary legacy alongside so many friends and supporters.
Celebrating 110 years of impact only strengthened our commitment to the work that lies ahead, and together we will continue standing alongside workers and advancing justice across California. Thank you for being part of this special evening and for helping carry our mission forward.
