Former Partner of Jeffer Mangels Butler & Marmaro LLP Makes An Impact in the Lives of Refugees from Darfur, Sudan

  Founding President of Jewish World Watch Highlights Organization's
                         Humanitarian Efforts
LOS ANGELES--(Business Wire)--Jeffer, Mangels, Butler & Marmaro LLP (JMBM), one of California's
foremost full-service law firms, today announced that the Firm's
former partner Janice Kamenir-Reznik, founding president of Jewish
World Watch (JWW), will give a presentation on the organization's
humanitarian efforts abroad at the Firm's Los Angeles offices,
December 11, 2007 at noon. Specifically geared toward a discussion of
international law and its applicability to the Sudan-Darfur crisis,
the presentation is part of the mandatory continuing legal education
program.

   Founded in 2004, JWW is an organization dedicated to mobilizing
the community against genocide. Kamenir-Reznik, who left her
successful environmental law practice at JMBM more than three years
ago, recently returned from a visit to the refugee camps at the
Chad-Darfur border. She will be showing photographs and discussing
various improvements made in the camps by her organization, including
the successful solar cooking program.

   "The Firm has always prided itself on promoting awareness, be it
political, environmental, or socio-economic, and we are honored to
have had Janice as one of our key team players," said JMBM's Managing
Partner Bruce P. Jeffer. "In supporting educational presentations of
this kind, we feel our attorneys and staff can develop a broader sense
of responsibility towards the community and the world, making them
that much better able to excel at what they do."

   "While practicing with JMBM, I was always very active in community
life," said Kamenir-Reznik, who is currently giving the presentation
in Geneva, Switzerland before the Women's Commission for Refugee Women
& Children, the U.N. High Commission for Refugees, and the World Food
Program. "Lawyers in particular should always be thinking about
donating time to the non-profit sector."

   Entitled "On the Ground and in the Camps: Voices from Darfur," the
presentation will also feature information about the United Nations
Genocide Convention, which was established to provide a framework for
countries to respond to and/or prevent genocide. JWW Executive
Director Tzivia Schwartz-Getzug, and the organization's assistant
director Naama Haviv, an expert in comparative genocide studies, will
also participate. For more information visit www.JewishWorldWatch.org.
