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.
July brings much activity and travel into all of our lives. Therefore, due to conflicts with speaker arrangements, we will not host our monthly luncheon and presentation on July 15th.

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.
