Please join us for the annual Bench Bar Conference that will take place Thursday, August 24th through Saturday, August 26th at the Windsor Court Hotel. 
 
The Bench Bar Conference has always been an exciting and entertaining way to gather with members of the judiciary, obtain mandatory CLE hours and network with colleagues and non-member organizations.  This year's program will offer an excellent lineup of CLE topics and speakers, affording attendees a total of 12 credit hours.
A highlight of the event will be the return of the ever-popular Judicial Round Table providing small groups of lawyers with the opportunity to meet and interact with the judges, and spend a little time learning: what the judge expects in his or her courtroom, what the judge just won’t tolerate from lawyers, whether any special rules exist that are particular to that judge’s court, and any other practice pointers, professionalism questions or pleadings issues you’ve wondered about.
We are Excited to Have our ALL of the Amazing Judges Attending This Year!
