The Jacksonville Bar Association’s annual Law Week schedule is still incomplete but several events are in place.
Matt Roach of McCumber Inclan is this year’s chairman and said the date for the main event, the Law Day Luncheon, will depend on the speaker’s schedule.
“We should have a speaker, time and site soon,” he said. “Everything seems to be moving along well.”
The Naturalization Ceremony will be April 28, he said.
A number of high school presentations are also scheduled with more to come. A dozen judges have committed to participate and seven high schools have been scheduled so far.
“The dates for the Mock Trial Competition, Law Day Proclamation, Law School for the Layperson, and Poster Contest will be finalized and announced soon,” said Roach.
Law Week is the Bar’s major event of the year and past speakers have included Supreme Court justices and both the federal and state attorneys general.
It’s coordinated through the JBA and the local Law Week is considered among the state’s best.
“We have a great tradition and we’ll
uphold it,” said Roach. “I think everyone will be proud.”
Roach was appointed to the chairmanship by this year’s JBA president, Reginald Luster.
