For the fourth consecutive year, the Section donated funds from their account to the Volunteer Lawyer Network as part of the George Beck Scholarship.

revenue from four MSBA Sections to support the Volunteer
Lawyers Network. As a result of this collaborative – which
includes a $4,000 contribution from the Administrative Law

attorney and provide stipends for 1,600 hours worth of legal
services performed by third-year law students.
Funding the Beck Scholarship was a key initiative of the Section.

The Section effectively leveraged the MSBA’s website to share
meeting and program information with the Section membership
and the wider community.
Section Newsletter

Public Law Section by contributing content to the tri-annual

by staggering short conferences in those months that it hosted a
CLE program with longer planning and decision-making
sessions in those months without a CLE program.
Additionally, the Council made very effective use of the MSBA
electronic mail list service and teleconferencing to resolve
important operational issues between regularly-scheduled
meeting dates.

The Section held its Annual Meeting on June 17, 2010.
