APRIL 30 - CBA CLE - Introduction to Colorado's New Judicial Discipline Adjudicative Process Co-sponsored by the Colorado Bar Association Judicial Liaison Section April 30 | 12:00 - 1:00 PM Virtual In November, Colorado voters approved a constitutional amendment changing the state’s process for disciplining judges. Under the amendment, the Colorado Independent Judicial Discipline Adjudicative Board will be charged with investigating complaints and enforcing the state’s judicial ethics code. This program will look at how we got here and provide an update on the formation of the board and the rulemaking process, which will guide how the Board will function going forward. General Credits: 1.00 MAY 1 - Colorado Law Day - Commemorating the Constitution at our County Courthouses
On May 1st—Law Day—we invite you to join lawyers across Colorado in a powerful, united act: reading the United States Constitution (and historical statements about it) aloud on the steps of your local courthouse. At a time when the rule of law is under daily assault, there is an urgent need for us to stand united in support of the United States Constitution and the Rule of Law. Those of us in Denver will be gathering in front of the City and County Building, 1437 Bannock Street, east side steps, at Noon. Join fellow attorneys, judges, and community members in support of the bedrock American principles of the Rule of Law, the independence of the judiciary, the protection of attorneys and law firms from unlawful attacks, due process of law, and freedom of speech and association. What You Can Do: • Organize a short gathering outside your county courthouse at Noon on May 1st, or simply gather a few colleagues and go to the courthouse steps. (Check with the Chief Judge, Presiding Judge or Court Administrator for the District or County Court in your County.) • Read the Constitution aloud (individually, as a group, or round-robin style). • Invite colleagues, friends, and members of the public to join. • Share photos and reflections on social media using #LawDayCO. • Forward this email to your professional and personal networks—especially to lawyers and legal professionals in counties other than your own across Colorado.
To obtain a free copy of the Constitution, go here. If you plan to participate or would like help organizing in your county, please email us at COLawday@gmail.com. We will do our best to provide updates via email and on our website www.COLawday.com. As lawyers, we are guardians of the Constitution. On Law Day, let’s show Colorado – and the country – that we take that role seriously. We look forward to hearing from you and seeing pictures from every county courthouse in Colorado on May 1, 2025!
