Meetings Offer Rewarding Combination of Committee Work, Free CLE and Social/Network Opportunities

A rewarding combination of committee work, substantive educational programming and social opportunities, the meetings of The Missouri Bar's many committees form the basis of most bar activities. Through attendance and participation in committee activities, Missouri Bar members make a meaningful contribution to the betterment of the legal profession and the public good.

Service on a Missouri Bar committee provides individual members of the bar with the chance to play a significant role in bar activities - especially the development of legislative proposals and the staging of timely educational programming. In addition, attendance at the Spring Committee Meetings is both personally and professionally rewarding, bringing together lawyers with common interests and concerns.

During the 2008 Spring Committee Meetings, most Missouri Bar committees will meet in either morning or afternoon time blocks on Friday, May 9. However, some committees may choose to conduct meetings of a longer duration or convene at other times.
