ALPS
LAWYER LEADERSHIP INSTITUTE

 

  • Unique and valuable opportunity.
  • Informative and inspiring.
  • A great use of 2 days of our time.
  • It has inspired me to strive to take on more leadership responsibility.
  • Great speakers on a worthwhile topic.
  • Every lawyer should attend similar instruction.
  • Wonderful reminder of why I became a lawyer.
  • Excellent-the topics, speakers and participants all exceeded
    expectations.

 

These
are just some of the evaluation comments made by the younger lawyer participants
at the ALPS Lawyer Leadership Institute held on May 18-20 at Stonewall Resort
near Weston. For two days, they listened to presentations, had discussions and
interacted with federal and state judges, WVU Law School professors and well
respected lawyers regarding the leadership skills, traits and experiences that
will benefit them as they continue and expand their leadership responsibilities
in communities throughout West Virginia.
This diverse group of nine lawyers from all types of law practice and from all
parts of the state have been lawyers for less than ten years and have
demonstrated their potential and their desire to be future leaders in our legal
profession, our legal system and in benficial local entities. It was
their unanimous opinion that the Institute should be an annual opportunity for a
small group of rising lawyer leaders.
The Bar Foundation expresses its utmost gratitude to Bar Foundation Fellow Bob
Minto and ALPS (Attorney Liability Protection Society) for their strong support
of this important Institute.

very pleased to announce that it has officially sold the building located at
2006 Kanawha Blvd., East, in Charleston to the West Virginia Oil Marketers and

leased to the WV State Bar for office space for more than 20 years prior to its
moving to another building, effective December 31, 2011.

The other property owned by the Bar Foundation,
located at 2008 Kanawha Blvd., East, has a real estate sales agreement with a
business entity, which is doing the normal thirty day inspection prior to
pursuing a final closing.

The volunteer Bar Foundation Officers and Board

negotiating and formalizing the sale of these distinctive
