It’s Bar Convention week in Mississippi. The Summer School for Lawyers CLE runs today through Wednesday and the Annual Meeting runs Wednesday through Saturday. Both are at the Sandestin Resort. There are 250 lawyers registered for the CLE and 400 lawyers and judges registered for the Annual Meeting.

The Bar Convention is a great opportunity for lawyers and judges to visit in a relaxed atmosphere. Everyone always has a smile on their face.

For lawyers and judges back in Mississippi, Bar Convention week is often one of the quietest weeks of the year. With so many judges and lawyers in Florida, there is usually a noticeable decline in the number scheduled trials, hearings and depositions this week. So for anyone looking to sneak out to the golf course or fishing hole for an afternoon, this wouldn’t be a bad week to do it.
