Sustaining Excellence provides an opportunity for members to learn from each other.
What’s worked; what hasn’t; and where we might go from here.
We Are All Welcome: How to Create a Culture of Belonging and Authenticity
Featuring: Michelle Silverthorn
We are so thankful to have had the opportunity to partner with Jthe Women Lawyers of Franklin County, the Hispanic National Bar Association, APABACO, AABAROhio and our friends at Dinsmore & Shohl LLP in an engaging, interactive virtual program that shifted understanding on the challenges for inclusion in the workplace, and offered a call to action for each individual to build spaces of authentic diversity for all.
A Seat at the Table: A Conversation with Minda Harts
In September 2020, JMLBA along with our friends at Vorys, Sater, Seymour and Pease LLP hosted Minda Harts for a fireside chat to discuss some of the challenges unique to women of color at work, but more importantly, to talk candidly about strategies to both thrive and shine in spite of those challenges.
We hope you enjoyed the event!
Sustaining Excellence also provides a platform to bring pertinent CLE programming to our members and the community.

Human Factors in Wrongful Convictions
In December 2020, in partnership with the Ohio Innocence Project, we hosted members of the community for a virtual session to discuss the human factors that lead to wrongful convictions and explored Ohio Rule of Professional Conduct 3.8 and the duty of prosecutors to disclose exculpatory evidence in accordance with Brady v. Maryland.
