Description

 

Welcome to the American Bar Association 2010 Midyear Meeting. This year’s meeting will be held February 5-7, in Orlando, Florida.

The Midyear Meeting brings together more than 3,000 lawyers and their families. While the Midyear Meeting does not match that of the Annual Meeting, the volume of business that occurs does. In addition to the House of Delegates convening at the Midyear Meeting to review recommendations submitted by various entities of the Association, some Section and Association committees also meet to review the business of their groups. The Midyear Meeting hosts the Nominating Committee of the House of Delegates, which nominates the Association’s Officers and members of the Board of Governors. The Fellows of the American Bar Foundation hold their Annual Meeting during the ABA’s Midyear Meeting.

The deadline for advance registration is Monday, January 18, 2010 at 5:00 p.m., ET. The deadline for advance hotel reservations is January 21, 2010.  If you have any questions, please call the ABA Meetings and Travel Department at 312-988-5870.  We all look forward to seeing you in whimsical Orlando!
