ADVOCATES SPEAKERS BUREAU
In an effort to educate the community about the law, the Advocates Society provides The Advocates Speakers Bureau, through which Members of the Advocates Society make themselves available to community groups to speak about and otherwise discuss the law, including the legal system, the participants, and various topics of interest. This informal program provides a means for community groups to find lawyers in their communities who are willing to speak without a fee. Presentations can be adjusted for the group and available time.
To request a presentation, please use the following form:
