On Tuesday, January 26, 2021, the MSBA and the Maryland Access to Justice Commission (A2JC) hosted the 2nd Annual (and first-ever virtual) Lobby Day. The event was opened by Welcome Addresses by MSBA President, Judge Mark F. Scurti, and A2JC Chair, Ward B. Coe. The event was attended (virtually) by over 90 MSBA member participants, and featured interaction with numerous State Senators and Delegates from across Maryland.  MSBA’s 2021 Lobby Day was a Complimentary virtual offering to MSBA members, and the virtual format gave access to the entire event and allowed members to interact with fellow MSBA members and legislators from all over Maryland from the comfort of their homes or offices.
