Dear Members

If you missed our June CLE, you missed one heck of an informative and dynamic speaker! A very a sincere thank you to Dr. Angela White-Bazile of the Judges and Lawyers Assistance Program for her presentation on the importance of self-care in both our professional and personal lives.

Burris (22nd JDC) for this moderated discussion on state and federal rules of procedure. You will find additional information about the program and registration details below.
