Another year of the Legal Assistant Division (“LAD”) is in full swing. A lot has been going on behind the scenes. This will update you on forthcoming events and goals that the LAD hopes to
accomplish this year.
Be sure to mark your calendars for Friday, October 26, 2001, for a full day seminar that the LAD is sponsoring. This is an opportunity that includes a great lineup of CLE topics and
speakers. The CLE credit will count towards the annual 10 hour CLE requirement of the LAD.
Among the goals of the Board of Directors for this year are:
- Issuance of a current membership directory.
- Put a new long range plan in place.
- Revise the structure and content of the current LAD By-laws.
- Provide educational opportunities including
a. a full day CLE seminar in October.
b. a full CLE track at the mid-year Bar meetings in St. George
in March 2002,
c. the annual Legal Assistant Division meeting in June, 2002, and
d. the Bar's annual meeting in June 2002
- Update and maintain the LAD website.
- Networking and communication between LAD members.
- Keeping members advised on the unauthorized practice of law.
- Keeping members updated on trends relating to multi-disciplinary practice.
We have had many new faces join the Board of Directors and a lot of new committee volunteers. It is with this sort of volunteering and support that the LAD remains strong and continues its
recognized presence in the legal community.
Please support the LAD by attending events it sponsors, volunteering for committee work, and introducing new members to the LAD. If you have comments, questions, ideas, or suggestions
please let me or another Board or committee member know. We are always looking for new ideas and appreciate member input.
