Arizona Attorney - Annual Convention 2013

June 19-21, 2013

Message from the Convention Chairs

Dear Colleagues, Welcome to the 2013 State Bar Convention. We join State Bar President Amelia Craig Cramer, Bar staff, our many wonderful speakers and other volunteers in thanking you for your attendance and support.

The theme of this Convention is Serving Justice. Thank you for joining us in this celebration honoring our courts, our justices and judges, and the important part that an independent judiciary plays in ensuring maintenance of the rule of law in our state and our nation.

Every year the State Bar strives to educate, inspire, bring colleagues together, and support the wider community. This year is no different, but we hope you will find it better than ever. With more than 45 seminars, nationally known speakers, unique social and networking opportunities, and an amazing silent auction benefiting Arizona Foundation for Legal Services & Education (aka “Arizona Bar Foundation”), we hope this Convention will be a professional highlight for you.

In planning this year’s Convention, we have diligently pursued our shared goal of delivering programs and speakers most relevant to your practice needs and professional aspirations. We strive to keep the State Bar the foremost “go to” resource for you and your practice. Throughout the Convention, and in the months to follow, we welcome you to contact us with any comments, questions, or suggestions you can provide to ensure that your State Bar meets, and surpasses, your expectations.

The State Bar’s ongoing commitment to technology will be front and center at this year’s Convention. So, in addition to a wider variety of seminar topics across more varied practice areas, you can expect engaging, timely and useful seminar presentations employing modern and cutting-edge methods and techniques. We are reducing paper and increasing the use of technology. We even have a Convention App to keep you apprised of daily activities and pertinent information. You’ll be able to download our app and place the icon on your smartphone or tablet between “Angry Birds” and “LinkedIn,” just so it’s easy to find!
