2020 Attorney In Memoriam Ceremony: Help Needed

The State Bar of New Mexico Senior Lawyers Division is honored to annually host the Attorney In Memoriam Ceremony. This event will honor New Mexico attorneys who have passed away during the last year (November 2019 to present) to recognize their work in the legal community. The ceremony is also accompanied with a presentation of scholarships to deserving third-year law students of the University of New Mexico School of Law.

The State Bar of New Mexico Senior Lawyers Division would like to invite the family and friends of the attorneys to attend the virtual presentation where scholarships will be presented to the students in honor of our deceased colleagues.
