The National Conference of Bar Presidents (NCBP) was formed for the purpose of providing discussion forums for incumbent presidents, presidents-elect, and former presidents of bar associations throughout the United States and Canada. At the forums there are presentations and discussions of current issues affecting legal organizations, the legal profession, and the delivery of professional legal services. There are two meetings each year, immediately preceding, and in the same location as the annual meeting and the mid-year meeting of the American Bar Association (ABA). Each meeting lasts for approximately one and one-half days and consists of speakers, panel discussions, and small group discussion, directed toward an appropriate and relevant learning experience for all attendees.
