Successful Bench & Bar Partnerships
Judges set the standards for the way law is practiced in a community and have a special place in bar associations where they stay connected to lawyers and maintain a dialogue on professionalism, continuing legal education, access to justice, and community service. Meaningful judicial involvement with bar associations helps assure a concerted emphasis on ethical conduct in the practice of law, and helps bar associations succeed in attracting members and conducting popular events. This reception will showcase bar associations that have partnered with the bench to increase professionalism and engage members toward success in the practice of law. More Information |
