In March, our fabulous council member, Pamelya Herndon interviewed Aja Brooks, the President of the State Bar of New Mexico about that journey in a Chair Chat. Also in March, we hosted a phenomenal webinar, What You Need to Know to Protect Your Clients In the Digital Age, as a part of our 6-part webinar series on AI and the Legal Profession: Navigating Opportunities and Challenges – Exploring the Power of AI While Navigating Its Complex Legal Implications. There were several other amazing Chair Chats all of which are available for you review on our YouTube channel.
Finally, we also had the opportunity to honor Drucilla Stender Ramey at our Mid-Year meeting in February as the 2024 Father Robert F. Drinan Award Recipient. It was a wonderful opportunity to express our appreciation for Dru’s leadership and commitment to civil rights and social justice throughout her career.
As we look forward this year, we hope to seeing you at the Section’s Spring Business Meeting in Detroit, Michigan, May 8-11, where we are meeting with the ABA Commission on Homeless and Poverty at the same time as the ABA/NLADA Annual Equal Justice Conference where several of the members of our leadership will be presenting.
As always, I thank you for your continued support of the ABA Civil Rights and Social Justice Section and invite you to participate in any one of our numerous Committees, at our upcoming business meeting in Detroit, or in helping lead development of our programming.
