HCBa – Working for you
W
ours is a relationship-driven profession, so we will continue to offer
different opportunities to grow your relationships and connections.
e are more than halfway through the
bar year, and a lot is happening around
the HCBA in support of some of its
stated goals.
Goal: To improve the judicial system and maintain the highest
ethical and professional standards. HCBA’s Professionalism
and Ethics Committee luncheon on January 16 shared
technology updates in our circuit. On January 28, many
judges generously hosted newer lawyers and law students
for a Coffee at the Courthouse and Judicial Shadowing
Day. This half-day event offered attendees tips and
suggestions from a variety of judges about how to be
effective and professional members in the bar community.
In yet another example, judges, administrators, and more
experienced lawyers continue to collaborate in the
Thirteenth Judicial Circuit Professionalism Committee to
promote ethical and professional standards and provide
guidance to those who may need it.

Goal: To encourage camaraderie among our members.
HCBA events continue to offer our members chances
to network with each other and promote collegiality.
