The three-day meeting will feature daily keynote addresses, a variety of educational breakout sessions, and social and networking opportunities for attorneys and their families.
“This is an important event to help Utah’s lawyers stay at the forefront of current legal, business and economic issues,” said Utah State Bar President Rod Snow, who will conclude his year of service as Bar president at the event. “Every year, the Summer Convention is well attended because of its relevance to Utah State Bar members. This year is no different, and we’re looking forward to a successful event.”
At the opening session on Thursday, July 19, Snow will deliver his Report on the Utah State Bar, concluding his year of service as Bar president. Incoming Utah State Bar president Lori Nelson and Bar President-Elect Curtis Jensen will be sworn in to serve in those positions until July 2013.
