As summer winds down, Colorado’s legal community is staying connected. This month, bar associations, law schools and others have events planned including CLEs and conferences, networking and social gatherings and banquets and galas.
Join the Denver Bar Association’s Young Lawyers Division, the Association of Corporate Counsel or the Colorado Trial Lawyers Association to play Topgolf. Or, support the Sam Cary Bar Association, the Asian Pacific American Bar Association of Colorado, the Colorado Women’s Bar Association and the Colorado Lawyers Committee by attending fundraiser benefits this month. The Center for Legal Inclusiveness will also host its 2023 Diversity Summit with CLEs, happy hours and more planned.
