The Division’s leadership and committees are composed of members from all six Conferences who work together on collaborative JD projects and initiatives. In addition, each Conference includes its own governance, committees, projects and programs. Judges, lawyers, professors, legal professionals and law students are all welcome to join the Judicial Division.
