When incoming Connecticut Bar Association President Kimberly A. Knox takes the reins on July 1, the organization will launch several new initiatives. One of the first will be the creation of a task force to find a way to make the law school curriculums in the state more practical. Another will be the start of two new membership sections – women in the law and LGBT, or Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual & Transgender.

Entitled "The Task Force on the Future of Legal Education and its Impact on Admission to the Bar," the new task force will be chaired by Superior Court Judge Kenneth Shluger, said Knox. Knox has invited all of the deans of Connecticut's law school's to take part.
