LIZ NOTEWARE, Esq.
Former Senior Staff Attorney for the Ninth Circuit and Former BALIF Co-Chair
Liz Noteware hails from Dallas, Texas and has the big hair to prove it. Liz (perhaps mistakenly) foresaw limited success and happiness in Texas for a young feminist with some outlandish political ideas, and moved to the Bay Area as a Stanford undergraduate. She came out in her early 20s, during the heady days of Club Q, Junk, short dresses with Doc Martens, and the original lesbian gentrification of the Mission district. Liz worked for a graphic design firm and loved Helvetica dearly, but decided to go to law school to justify using so many polysyllabic words. Liz then moved to Boston to attend Northeastern University Law School, which lived up to its moniker, "The Queerest Law School in the Nation." She clerked for a federal judge; served as assistant general counsel for the Social Security Administration; and then worked as a staff attorney for the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals for six years. Recently she began her most challenging -- yet fulfilling -- position as a full-time mom to son Ari. She has been happily unmarried for twelve years to her law-school sweetheart, Angie, who is the director of admissions at Golden Gate University Law School. Liz has enjoyed absolute support and love from her family back in Texas and often wonders if she could have been the doyenne of Dallas.

ON LU, Esq.
Mount, Spelman & Fingerman, P.C.
First Openly Gay Student Body President at USF School of Law
For oN, It Got Better when he stopped hiding behind religion. oN is an intellectual property litigation attorney at Mount, Spelman, and Fingerman, P.C., with particular emphasis on anti-counterfeiting and branding. His work and language skills take him often to Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Europe. oN spent ten-years in the dogmatic International Churches of Christ, which promised to "de-gay" him. During that decade, he zealously led bible talks and ministries; spent too much time evangelizing strangers; and baptized numerous "disciples". He even served as a minister during his last year in the church. None of that worked; he was still gay (thank God.) When oN finally realized that being gay wasn't the problem, he left the church and moved to San Francisco to start his life over. He came out of the closet at the ripe old-age of 31, while a first year law student at the University of San Francisco School of Law. During his third year, oN was elected President of the Student Bar Association (SBA) -- a first for an openly gay student at the law school. oN's graduating class voted him the "Leader Who Contributed Most to the Character of the Law School" and selected him to speak at Commencement. He was also a member of the USF Law Review; taught Street Law to inner-city high school students; and worked as a teaching assistant for several professors. oN currently serves on BALIF's Board of Directors as Membership Chair. He has helped to grow BALIF's membership by more than 20% by innovating member-focused events such as the Rainmaker Institute to help small firms increase their business, and the Mid-Autumn Salon in San Francisco in homage to the days of intellectual discourse. oN also initiated and leads BALIF's series of "It Gets Better" videos to share with the world what BALIF lawyers and judges are doing to "make it better". He's a fan of skydiving, comic books, Hong Kong action movies, and seeing the world. He's also on the look-out for the love-of-his-life.
