Attorneys who work in the direct delivery of legal services to low- and moderate-income Californians are invited to attend the State Bar’s 2005 Spring Summit, Pathways to Justice, June 2-4 in San Francisco. More than 40 training sessions will be presented, offering participants the opportunity to earn up to 13.5 hours of MCLE credit (including elimination of bias and legal ethics).

Topics range from recent developments in family law to services for self-represented litigants.

Speakers include U.S. District Court Judge Marilyn Hall Patel, the first woman appointed to the northern district federal bench of the Northern District of California and the first female chief judge, and David Hall, a law professor at Northeastern University in Boston who was appointed in 2003 to serve on the Board of Directors of the Legal Services Corporation.
