It’s been an exhilarating year so far, and we still have many months to go! To date, the Law Practice Division had a successful Fall Meeting in Portland, Oregon. The meeting highlights included welcoming new Division members into our committees, networking with them, putting on substantive roundtable programming and setting the course for achieving LP goals for our current year and beyond.
