Among ABA Law Day events held in Washington, D.C., was an April 26 National Press Club luncheon seminar for high school teachers participating in programs by the Close Up Foundation, a nonprofit organization that educates and inspires young people to become informed and engaged citizens. Featured speaker at the luncheon was Jeffrey Rosen, professor of law at The George Washington University and the legal affairs editor of The New Republic.

It’s a pleasure to be with you as we meet in Chicago, the ABA’s headquarters city and such a wonderful Annual Meeting destination. Jan and I renew our love with Chicago every time we visit. We hope you have plenty of opportunities to enjoy yourselves while you’re here.

On behalf of the American Bar Association, it is a pleasure to welcome you to the Annual Meeting. We are pleased to return to Chicago, which offers world class attractions, restaurants, and shops.
