2012 KBA Annual Convention

June 6-8, 2012

The Young Lawyers Division promotes the objectives of the Kentucky Bar Association, assists young lawyers in the practice of law, conducts programs of interest and value to young lawyers and enhances the image of the legal profession.

The KBA presents the Kentucky Law Update one time in each Supreme Court District during the fall of each year. The program offers every Kentucky Bar Association member the opportunity to meet the annual CLE requirement, including ethics, close to home and with no registration fee.

This monthly newsletter provides information about the activities of the Kentucky Bar Association and other information relevant to attorneys practicing in the Commonwealth of Kentucky.

Each bi-monthly issue of Bench & Bar Magazine informs attorneys of new developments in the legal system, and helps to further educate attorneys in existing areas of the law. The magazine also provides an outlet for announcements of promotions, firm formations or relocations, and honors.
