Off to Orlando

So, heading up to Orlando for the Bar’s annual conference. I sit on the Standing Committee on Professionalism, which has been a real treat for the past three years. Looking around the room at the men and women serving on the Committee and Commission on Professionalism, you get the sense of what the Bar should and could be – dedicated individuals who really want this to be a profession, rather than a trade. Right now, the Commission’s focus is on law schools and hopefully addressing the issues that make us the most stressed, depressed, and addicted profession in the country before they have a chance to really get started. I’ll also get to say hi to people on the bar staff and Board of Governors who strongly support FLA (as well as talk with some who don’t), and thank them for “putting their money where their mouth is”, especially in these tough economic times. More will be revealed……..
