Facing the latest deadly surge of the COVID-19 pandemic, Bar leaders are “strongly urging” section, division, and committee chairs to hold all meetings virtually through the end of February.

Bar leaders made the announcement after the Executive Committee met December 16 and decided that a January 28-29 Board of Governors meeting that was scheduled for Tallahassee would convene virtually instead.

In a December 17 statement, President Dori Foster-Morales noted that new cases and positivity rates and hospitalizations have soared in Florida and are expected to remain high over the next several months.
