Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, we've pivoted our plans for Convention 2020, which was originally slated to take place in Wilmington June 17-20.

While we cannot gather in person at the Hotel Ballast next month, we're thrilled to announce that we're forging ahead with our plans to celebrate this tremendous year for NCAJ and our members in a new format that we've all become more accustomed to in recent months -- Zoom video conferencing!

We hope you'll plan to join us for
Virtual Convention 2020: Forging Ahead!

Registration for Virtual Convention 2020: Forging Ahead is FREE and open to all members of NCAJ. 

The fun and fellowship will begin on Wednesday, June 17, with section, division and caucus meetings scheduled throughout the day. Plan to attend to connect with members in your practice area across the state and discuss issues and concerns related to your caseload and the court's response to COVID-19. 

We'll then reconnect on the afternoon of Thursday, June 18, to address the business of NCAJ with a State of the Association address from Executive Director Kim Crouch, the formal election of our new Board of Governors at the Annual Meeting and the official passing of the gavel to President-elect David Henson to begin his year of leadership.

With the formalities behind us, we'll shift to celebrations late Thursday afternoon with happy hour toasts and general connection with friends and colleagues across the state.
