Susan Stamberg will headline the State
Bar Annual Meeting this year, scheduled for Oct. 5-8 in Monterey. A new
State Bar president and new members of the board of governors will be sworn
in at the convention, which offers a low-cost opportunity for California attorneys
to earn up to 20 MCLE credits in one weekend. Members whose last names start
with A-G must complete 25 hours of MCLE by Feb. 1.
The meeting also will feature an exhibit hall, a series of receptions honoring
outstanding attorneys, a fun run/power walk and an art show. The California
Women Lawyers will hold their annual dinner and the Conference of Delegates
of California Bar Associations will convene.
Stamberg, the award-winning veteran of NPR’s All Things Considered,
will deliver the key-note address at the women lawyers dinner, which this year
will honor the late Tanya Neiman, a community lawyering champion, and Mark
Hanis, president of Genocide Intervention Network.
