BAR NEWS HIGHLIGHT
The CBA is excited to announce the 2019 Leadership Training Program (COBALT) class that started in January. COBALT is a six-month interactive leadership training program designed specifically for lawyers with demonstrated leadership skills and commitment to the legal community. The program's goals include: nurturing effective leadership with respect to ethical, professional, and community service issues; building relationships among legal leaders from across the state and from across experience levels; and raising the level of awareness among lawyers regarding the broad range of issues facing the legal profession. Class members are not only taught leadership skills, but also learn how to address challenges faced by leaders in the legal community and the general community.
