The CBA and ABA are working hard to advocate for our members. On Apr. 8-10, a delegation of bar leaders from the CBA traveled to Washington, D.C. to attend the American Bar Association (ABA)’s 2025 ABA Day event. Each year, during ABA Day, leaders of the ABA and state and local bars from around the country come together to advocate at the capital on issues of importance to the legal profession. Along with advocacy, this year’s event also included guest speakers, presentations, and a reception at the United States Botanic Garden.
ABA Day State Captain, Daniel A. Schwartz, along with the CBA’s Delegates to the ABA, Steve Curley, Amy Lin Meyerson, and Scott Schwefel met with U.S. Representative Joe Courtney and U.S. Representative Jahana Hayes. In addition, the CBA delegation met with the legislative staff of Connecticut’s U.S. Senators Chris Murphy and Richard Blumenthal and U.S. Representatives Rosa DeLauro, Jim Himes, and John Larson. Our delegation pushed for greater support for funding the Legal Services Corporation, which provides legal assistance to people with limited income, and support for the rule of law and safety of judges. The CBA is proud to be making a difference for its members.
