The New Jersey State Bar Association Mid-Year Meeting—held in San Juan—raised over $30,000 that will be donated to five charities in Puerto Rico.

Over 250 people attended the Mid-Year Meeting earlier this month, which traditionally features educational seminars and networking events. This year, it also included NJSBA Cares, a day of events where attendees volunteered at local organizations to help residents of the island who are still suffering from the destruction of Hurricane Maria and raised money to benefit charities.
