Rooted in the Seattle, WA Jewish community, the Cardozo Society represents a distinctive approach to professional organization by uniting legal professionals who value both their careers and their Jewish heritage. As an official minority bar association recognized by the Washington State Bar Association, the society operates under the umbrella of the Jewish Federation of Greater Seattle, embodying a commitment to strengthening both the legal profession and the local Jewish community. The organization's mission centers on demonstrating how lawyers can make meaningful contributions to improve Jewish life and the broader Seattle community through thoughtful programming that integrates legal and Jewish concerns. The Cardozo Society recognizes that Jewish lawyers in Washington bring unique perspectives shaped by their cultural and religious backgrounds, and the organization creates intentional spaces where these identities intersect and reinforce one another. By fostering community among Jewish legal professionals in Seattle and statewide, the society builds relationships grounded in shared values and mutual professional respect. Through this integrated approach, the Cardozo Society strengthens both the legal profession and the Jewish community, demonstrating the power of professional networks that honor the whole person.
