Questions will be fielded on these topics and other topics of concern to today s seniors. While the organizational function of the event will be handled by the Public Awareness Committee, volunteers are needed from the Elder Law Section to make the actual presentations. As the majority of Maryland practitioners are in the central areas of the state and the Public Awareness Committee wants to cover at least one senior center in each county, it is requested that volunteers be willing to travel to an adjacent county, if necessary. The Committee is particularly in need of attorneys from the lower and upper Eastern Shore area. The Maryland State Bar Association is sponsoring its Annual Gavel Awards competition to recognize outstanding legal reporting that enhances the public s understanding of the legal system.
Submissions are welcome from any Maryland journalist in the television, print or radio media.
There are eight different categories to submit entries. There are no entry fees. Entries must be received at MSBA headquarters by Friday, March 30, 2001. Entry forms will be mailed in early February. Inc. All rights reserved.
