mba EVENT Virtual Bench Bar & Bagels Tuesday, November 9 7:30-8:30 a.m. 4-5 p.m. The MBA hosts the 13th annual “Bench Bar & Bagels” event on Tuesday, November 9 from 7:30-8:30 a.m. and again from 4-5 p.m. Choose the one that best fits your schedule - or attend both! In past years, this event has been sponsored and hosted by Tonkon Torp. We had hoped to be back in person at Tonkon Torp this fall, but didn’t feel that we could safely do that yet. Please join your colleagues and members of the judiciary for this event, being held on Zoom. Using breakout rooms, we will assign you to a room with a judge, a member of the Events Committee or MBA Board and a few other lawyers. This event is offered at no cost to MBA members and judges. Non-members: $10.
