A recent editorial asked the question, “Is the Connecticut Bar Association Meeting the Needs of its Members?” (Connecticut Law Tribune, Nov. 11.) As president of the Connecticut Bar Association, I am proud to tell you that the CBA is strong and thriving and meeting the needs of our diverse and vibrant membership. This isn’t just the opinion of our leadership. The CBA has been voted “Best Bar Association” for the seventh consecutive year by the readers of the Law Tribune.
We are a community of nearly 9,000 legal professionals who work collaboratively to advance the practice of law, the justice system, and the communities where we live and work as well as help individuals who would not have access to legal services but for the pro bono services of our members. We are an association rich in history and tradition. We are also an association that innovates and embraces diversity and community service. We are especially proud of our remarkably accomplished Young Lawyers Section—the leadership of our future—which has received national recognition on many occasions. Together we are constantly working toward a better future for our members and those whom our members serve.
