DBA Celebrates 125th Anniversary
For the past 125 years, the Denver Bar Association has thrived as a dynamic force in the legal community. DBA President Nancy Cohen seized upon this theme during her speech at the bar association’s 125th Anniversary Celebration held on October 23 in the place where the DBA was founded: the Odd Fellows Hall, which now houses Boney’s BBQ. Since its inception, the DBA has witnessed women obtain the right to vote, the civil rights movement, the invention of the computer, and many more historic milestones. At every turn of history, the DBA has shaped the future of law in Colorado. The event, which attracted 75 attendees, also put the spotlight on Pro Bono Week. The DBA has accomplished remarkable things and will continue to do so by harnessing the potential of its greatest assets—its members.
CBA President Patricia Jarzobski Visits Local Bars
In July, CBA President Patricia Jarzobski kicked off her presidential tour across the state with her beloved RV, Gigi. She endearingly renamed the pilgrimage “On the Road with ‘Gigi’: Rediscovering Colorado one ‘JD’ at a Time.” By the end of the year, she will have spent time with 20 of the 27 local bar associations. During her visits, Jarzobski provides information about the implementation of the CBA Strategic Plan. She also meets with local leaders and lawyers from a spectrum of practice areas. Her overarching mission is to highlight the importance of the supportive legal community that the bar associations collaboratively foster. A complete schedule of Jarzobski’s tour is available at www.cobar.org/About-the-CBA/CBA-Presidential-Local-Bar-Visits.
