After a brief hiatus, the Asian Pacific American Lawyers of the Inland Empire proudly returns stronger than ever for our 8th Annual Installation Dinner. This special evening marks not only the installation of our leadership, but also a powerful celebration of APALIE’s comeback and renewed commitment to serving and uplifting the AAPI legal community throughout the Inland Empire.
This year’s dinner is more than a gathering. It is a homecoming. It is a reflection of the resilience, growth, and unity that define our community. We invite attorneys, judges, law students, and supporters to join us for an inspiring night of connection, recognition, and shared purpose in a setting that honors the rich history of our region.
A highlight of the evening will be the recognition of all AAPI judges who have been sworn in since 2020. Their appointments represent meaningful progress in representation and leadership within our judiciary. By honoring their achievements, we celebrate the growing presence and impact of AAPI voices on the bench and reaffirm the importance of mentorship, visibility, and service.
We are especially honored to welcome the Honorable Glenn Yabuno as our Keynote Speaker. Judge Yabuno has served with distinction on the San Bernardino County Superior Court and has held key leadership roles within one of the largest trial court systems in the nation. His career reflects decades of dedication to public service, integrity, and access to justice. As a respected leader in the Inland Empire legal community, Judge Yabuno embodies the values of professionalism, inclusion, and excellence that APALIE strives to promote. His presence underscores the importance of strong, principled leadership and the meaningful contributions of AAPI jurists in shaping our courts.
Join us on April 30, 2026, for an unforgettable evening as we celebrate APALIE’s return, honor those who have paved the way, and reaffirm our shared commitment to unity within the AAPI legal community of the Inland Empire. Together, we move forward stronger than ever.
