fascinating to a trial attorney than to learn from jurors, to hear what persuaded them, what mattered to them, what they hated, and what they loved, if anything.
Fourth, this conference is about you. The lawyers around you are future judges, adversaries, referral sources, potential partners, mentees, and mentors. Relationships matter. Come to Bench Bar to form and strengthen them. In life, success is often about showing up.
Fifth, the theme this year is“ Not All Superheroes Wear Capes.” We are surrounded by unsung heroes, champions within our legal community who make a difference every day. We see you here at the courthouse. Come celebrate each other and celebrate those who do what needs to be done for others, who make real the promise of“ with liberty and justice for all.”
We cannot wait to see all of you on October 7, 2025, starting at 7:30 am at the Marriott Water Street Hotel( formerly Waterside Hotel) in downtown Tampa! Register online now at www. hillsbar. com. n
