Our featured speaker is Senior United States District Court Judge Robert Bryan for the Western District of Washington. An outstanding speaker, Judge Bryan is well known to many Port Angeles lawyers since he frequently acted as a visiting Superior Court Judge when not on the bench in Kitsap County. Judge Bryan is an energetic leader especially in the judiciary having served as a pro tem Supreme Court and Court of Appeals judge. He is a founder and first president of the Puget Sound Inn of Court and one of a relatively few recipients of the Life Time Service Award conferred by the Washington State Bar Association.
At this event, we will honor two Pro Bono Lawyers of the Year and all the other pro bono volunteer lawyers of Clallam and Jefferson Counties.
