The law -- federal, state, and local -- affects the lives of all citizens. The Bar Association of Metropolitan St. Louis Speakers Bureau is an excellent way to answer your group's questions about various laws and the legal system itself. It is through the law and the public's understanding about that law by which civilized society grows. A nation which does not understand its law is in difficulty.

The Speakers Bureau will make available to community groups a speaker, free of charge. This is a public service to acquaint individuals with the laws and legal processes governing their personal lives and work. Our speakers can address your group on any of the topics listed. We will also attempt to fill any other requests of special interest to your group. In most cases supplementary written materials will be provided as handouts.
