Oktoberfest Mixer Fosters Fun & Connection Among the Federal Bar

On October 21, 2025, the San Diego Federal Bar Association, in partnership with Judicate West, hosted a lively Oktoberfest-themed networking mixer that brought together over fifty attendees for an evening of connection and celebration. Guests enjoyed an array of Bavarian-inspired treats, including soft pretzels, charcuterie boards, and a selection of festive beverages to match the fall spirit.

Adding to the fun, several attendees were spotted in Oktoberfest colors with one even donning a themed shirt and hat, creating a warm and cheerful atmosphere. The event also welcomed Board Member candidates, offering members a chance to meet and engage with members running for leadership positions.

The mixer drew a diverse crowd of attorneys, law students, neutrals, and judges, all eager to connect in a relaxed setting. The room was filled with conversation and camaraderie—making it a memorable evening that showcased the vibrant and collegial spirit of San Diego’s federal bar community.

The San Diego extends special thanks to Judicate West for hosting this event with us, and to Board Members, Kristin Lahaszow and Jessie Agatstein, for their tremendous work organizing this event!
