Past Community activities have included:

• sponsoring brown-bag lunch programs, panel discussion, and individual speakers addressing current developments in the law.
• offering publications for purchase to aid in members’ practice of law
• organizing activities designed to benefit D.C. residents by improving awareness of individuals’ legal rights and responsibilities under the law.
