8 Winter 2016 The Mississippi Lawyer Confidential Professional Assistance for Lawyers and Judges LJAP is serious about its commitment to confidentiality. The identity of any lawyer judge or family member who requests assistance through the program for themselves or others is kept absolutely confi- dential. LJAP is neither a disciplinary nor a reporting agency. If you are applying to take the bar exam and you request help you will not be reported to the Board of Bar Admissions. If you are practicing law and you request help you will not be reported to the Office of General Counsel. If you are on the bench and request help you will not be reported to the Commission on Judicial Performance. LJAP has nothing to do with discipline or punishment. It has everything to do with help. So if the need arises for you or for someone you care about use LJAP. Its private its effective and its free. And speaking of assistance programs for lawyers and judges a week of rest and relaxation is planned for you the week of July 11-16 at Sandestin beginning with three days of CLE in the Summer School for Lawyers followed by the Convention. Mark your calendars and look for the official registration forms in a few more weeks. Between now and then plenty else is happening including the Mississippi Bar Foundations Annual Dinner Meeting and Fellows Induction Ceremony on April 14 at the Old Capitol Inn and the Spring Bar Admissions Ceremony on April 28 at the Supreme Court Building followed by the Spring Social at River Hills Club hosted by CABA JYL and the Litigation Section of the Bar. And speaking of saving dates mark your calendars eighteen months from now on September 26-28 2017. A celebration will be held then of the 200th anniversary of Mississippis judicial branch of gov- ernment and the legal profession. Chief Justice John Roberts will be here and a banquet will be held Wednesday evening September 27. Larry Houchins Melanie Henry and everyone else at the Bar continue the hard work that makes all of this possible. Contact them or me--preferably them--for whatever you need and cannot find on the website.
