Building Community with the HCBA Softball League
For decades, Tuesday summer evenings have brought Hennepin County’s legal community to the softball field. The HCBA’s Softball League is a way for the local legal community to get together for some fun competition, without pressure. We spoke with the league’s commissioner, Peter Selness, to learn more about the league.
The Minnesota Lawyer Referral and Information Service (MNLRIS)—a program of the Hennepin and Ramsey County Bar Associations—can help you grow your practice by connecting you with pre-screened clients looking to hire an attorney.
In this joint column, the presidents of the Hennepin County Bar Association, Ramsey County Bar Association, and Minnesota State Bar Association share their personal experiences with the intersection of mental health and the practice of law, to remind others in our profession that they’re not alone—and that it’s okay to be not okay, to acknowledge that reality, and to ask for help.
By HCBA President Jessica Klander, RCBA President Maya Missaghi and MSBA President Tom Pack
