The MSBA Leadership Academy is designed to provide the next generation of attorneys in the legal profession with the skills necessary to become leaders within their organizations and firms, the Maryland State Bar Association, and the legal profession. The Fellows follow a rigorous program throughout the 2023-24 Bar year, including team building activities, leadership development, and networking opportunities. Additionally, the Fellows complete a public service project with the goal of serving the needs of all Marylanders and the legal profession.
Below is the anticipated schedule of the events. Please note, due to uncertainty around COVID, events noted as “in-person” may need to transition to virtual. Dates are also subject to change.
