Continuing Legal
Education seminars specifically designed to fit the needs of the local
legal community. Our CLEs are
presented at low rates and at cheaper rates than non-members.
We often videotape our seminars for rental at a later time.
Every member of the SCBA
receives a copy of the Calendar Call, our twice
monthly newsletter. The
Calendar Call contains CLE
notices, meeting notices and announcements, employment
opportunities, advertisements, federal, state
and county court information and other important data that is
vital to the practice of law.
Being a member promotes camaraderie, and fellowship
in the legal profession. SCBA members are invited to participate
in "sections" of the Bar. Sections are focus groups that
meet monthly to discuss issues relative to the specific area of law or
legal profession. Currently, the Spokane County Bar Association™
has a Young
Lawyers Division, ADR Section, Family
Law Section,
Family Law GAL Section.
The SCBA also sponsors social events which benefits the health and well being of the Bar as a whole.

The Annual Golf Tournament, hosted
in June, is a particular favorite of the many duffers that are members
of the Bar. |

The Volunteer Lawyer Program administers the
Justice
Run. The Volunteer Lawyers Program relies heavily on
the many volunteers who help coordinate this event. The VLP
Fun Run Committee puts in a lot of hours to make the "run"
a success. |

The Annual Holiday Party and VLP Silent Auction is a favorite of the local membership.
The party provides the membership an opportunity to meet long time
friends and to spread some good cheer. The
silent auction is a successful fundraiser for the Volunteer Lawyers
Program. Auction items are excellent last-minute Christmas
gifts for a loved one, or perhaps, for yourself. |
