Bench Bar Conference is April 14 – 16, 2023!

On behalf of the 2023 Bench Bar Committee, we are pleased to have prepared a great program for all attendees. Historically, Bench Bar has always presented an excellent opportunity for members of the bar to socialize and network with each other as well as members of the judiciary while also participating in the latest continuing legal education.

This year’s Bench Bar theme is “Survivor: Outwit, Outplay and Outlast.” We believe the theme reflects the modern practice of law in all areas. To help us navigate the terrain, we are very pleased to announce that we have confirmed multiple members of the Tarrant County judiciary to present on various panels over a wide variety of topics. Additionally, we have assembled an excellent group of speakers to enlighten us in different areas of the law. The committee has worked toward the goal of putting together the best presentation of the year, and we believed we have accomplished that goal.Of course, all work and no play is never good for anyone, so we have planned many fun activities at which we can socialize and make new friendships. We will once again be hosting the Judges’ Cup golf tournament – it is filling up fast, but we still have openings available for both the “play all the time” golfers along with the “I haven’t touched a golf club in years” enthusiasts.

For those not completely up for a full round of golf, there is a mini golf tournament which may be more your speed. If that’s still “too fast” for you, we have the annual wine tasting as well. Additionally, we encourage everyone to join the Lawyer Olympics which is a great way to make new friends.

We still have a few sponsorship opportunities available for those firms and attorneys who would like to ensure the continued success of this amazing conference. If you are so inclined, please contact laurensc@tarrantbar.org.

By far, the best part of this annual tradition is the attendees. None of this is possible without the continued attendance of previous attendees along with the first timers. Please register as soon as possible and plan on joining us. See you at the bay! g
