The Professionalism Committee of the CBA is charged with upholding the high standards of integrity and honor in the legal profession. The committee strives to foster conduct by and among lawyers and judges which enhance and support professionalism. The Professionalism Committee provides an ongoing focus on the broader purpose of the Cincinnati Bar Association and on the law as a public profession. In an effort to support this mission, the committee publishes articles in the CBA Report on ethical and professional issues and offers a forum for discussion. The following is a list of articles that have appeared in the Report. If you have a topic you would like to see discussed, please contact Maria Palermo at mcpalermo@cincybar.org.
