Bench Bar 2018
“Working Together to Serve Better!”
The Palm Beach County Bar Association will be hosting its
20th Bench Bar Conference on March 9, 2018 at the Palm
Beach County Convention Center. The theme for this year’s
conference is “Working Together to Serve Better” and the
co-chairs are Santo DiGangi, Esq. and Lawonda R. Warren,
Esq. The Bench Bar Conference remains the premier event
in the Fifteenth Circuit that bridges the gap between the
judiciary, attorneys, paralegals, courtroom personnel, and the
clerk of court. This year, there are many new and exciting
sessions, including the addition of the Immigration, Paralegal,
and Judicial Assistant Sessions. In addition to these new
sessions, some agenda highlights include the importance of
maintaining a healthy work-life balance as an attorney and
best practices for litigation in the technology age. We hope you
can join us for networking with colleagues and members of
the judiciary, and the opportunity to earn CLE credits through
unique session offering.
