MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT

On Sunday June 9th from 2-6pm at the Corn Crib, your Bar Association will be taking on the Champaign County Bar Association in a softball game. This will also be our family event for the year as we will have other activities (stay tuned) for you and your kids to enjoy. The concession stand will be open as well. It looks to be a great family outing so come on out and cheer on your Bar Association!
 
Don’t forget to sign up for the annual golf outing set for June 3rd at Bloomington Country Club. You can sign up below.
 
Our CLE committee would like you to take a survey so that they will know what types of programs you would like to see in the future. Please take the survey below.


Have a great week.

2020 Lincoln Award Legal Writing Contest
Dear YLD Member:
You're out in the trenches ... you know the hot topics in your field-the new statutes, the important new cases, the legal developments that you and your colleagues grapple with in the real world of lawyering. We invite you to share your hard-won knowledge and maybe win $2,000 in prize money by entering the Annual Lincoln Award Legal Writing Contest. We're looking for useful, practical articles on topics important to practicing lawyers. The highest scores will go to manuscripts that Illinois lawyers can use in their practices and that are written in a no-nonsense, plain-English style.....

MCBA Breakfast with the Bar
Remember to have “Breakfast with the Bar” every Friday morning between 8:00 am and 9:00 am. It’s a great way to meet and talk with your fellow attorneys in an informal setting. Stay for 10 minutes and have a cup of coffee or stay for an hour and have a full breakfast before court. Grab an associate, partner or friend and come.      See you Friday!
