Deadline to Register: May 3, 2017
The 2016 elections brought about significant change at all
levels of government, in particular at the federal
level. Federal policy initiatives are
underway that could impact state and local government. The practice of
public lawyers, and those with local-government-related practice, may be affected. And, as the
old adage goes, “change is hard.” How did we get
here? In what ways is the practice of public law likely to
change? What ethical issues are raised? How has the election impacted immigrants
to the U.S., and what are the implications for public lawyers? How can we best serve
our clients’ interests, while we adapt to change? How can we, as individuals and attorneys, best renew ourselves and maintain “calm in the face of the storm”? We have assembled an exceptional panel of speakers to address the impact of the 2016 elections on public lawyers, and plan a robust discussion with our panelists about the issues that may impact our work.
Children's Book
Drive
As public lawyers, many of us have limited
opportunities for pro bono legal work, but we do have opportunities to enrich
the communities we serve. In that spirit, the Public Law Section is conducting a
Children's Book Drive at its annual meeting. The books will be donated to St.
Joseph's Home for Children, the Hennepin County Domestic Abuse Service Center
and Harriet Tubman in Maplewood. New and slightly used books are greatly
appreciated, especially board books for toddlers. Please contribute what you
can!
If you prefer to provide a financial
contribution, you may do so by writing a check payable to any of the following
(according to your preference): MSBA, St. Joseph's Shelter for
Children, or Harriet Tubman. Checks will be accepted at the
annual meeting.
After the CLE, the Public Law
Section will hold their Annual Meeting & awards luncheon. All members are welcome.
