Vision 2016 commission


The Vision 2016 commission will perform an in-depth review of four general areas that will impact the future practice of law in Florida: legal education, technology, Bar admissions, and delivery of legal services/pro bono. The commission will look at the current impact, as well as the long-term challenges that the legal profession will face. This comprehensive study will provide the foundation to “prepare today’s lawyer for tomorrow’s practice.”
