To help lawyers answer ethics questions that arise in their practices every day, the Bar has an active Ethics Committee. The committee issues opinions interpreting the Rules of Professional Conduct. To request the Ethics Committee to render an Opinion, ask for an Ethics Opinion form from the General Counsel's office. To request a copy of a published opinion, call the General Counsel's office with either the Ethics Opinion number or topic. A wide variety of seminars on current topics facing the legal profession, awards presented to outstanding Bar members and social receptions are highlights of The Mississippi Bar Annual Meeting.
Vendors are also on hand to demonstrate diverse services and equipment for the legal community.
To register or ask specific questions, call the Membership Records Department. The Mississippi Bar offers many CLE courses at reasonable costs around the state to help lawyers improve their knowledge and skills. Office Management are offered annually. Check the CLE calendar in The Mississippi Lawyer or on the Bar's web site. Two Bar Admission Ceremonies are held each year by the Young Lawyers Division.
