Issues and Activities

The Missouri Bar Issues and Activities Handbook is a collection of constantly changing undertakings of The Missouri Bar. This handbook will be regularly updated and distributed to those members of the bar with a particular interest in various issues, programs and activities with which your state bar is involved.

The various matters described within the pages of this handbook are not an exhaustive list, but are those that are of most interest at this time. With each reprinting of this handbook, updated information will be provided and some changes in the matters included will occur.

If you have questions or comments, I would be pleased to hear from you, as would any other members of the staff of The Missouri Bar.
