The ACBA Bench-Bar Conference offers an excellent opportunity to network with other ACBA attorneys and to allow speakers to showcase their skills. In some cases, that opportunity is limited by the costs of attendance. The WLD is dedicated to promoting diversity and inclusion in both CLE programs and attendance at Bench-Bar.

​

In order to support attorneys who would not otherwise have the opportunity to attend and/or present at Bench-Bar, the WLD Council has created a scholarship program to reimburse the cost of attendance and lodging. To apply, please submit a statement of interest to WLD’s Nominating Committee at ala@ssf-lawfirm.com. Consideration will be given to barriers to attendance, such as newer attorneys, attorneys working in public service, or employers who cannot or will not reimburse for attendance at Bench-Bar. The deadline to submit your application is Wednesday, April 1.
