⚖️ What a fantastic way to kick off the new Inn of Court year!

We were thrilled to welcome Shefali Sharma for our first program, “The Ethics of Authenticity: Finding Your True Competitive Advantage.”

Shefali did a fantastic job engaging the room and getting everyone thinking about the power of authenticity—not only in our professional lives, but in how we connect, lead, and build meaningful relationships.

Thank you to Shefali for an engaging and thought-provoking program, and to everyone who joined us for a wonderful evening of learning, conversation, and fellowship.

We’re off to a great start, and we’re looking forward to an exciting year ahead! ⚖️✨

The Cumberland County Bar Association has proudly served attorneys who live or practice in Cumberland County for 125 years.

Yesterday, we celebrated this incredible milestone with a special anniversary event featuring Attorney Charles Stone, who shared a collection of fun, memorable, and interesting stories from his years with the Association.

We were also honored to have Commissioner Jean Foschi join us and present an official proclamation recognizing the Cumberland County Bar Association’s 125 years of service.

It was a wonderful evening celebrating our history, our members, and the continued legacy of the Cumberland County Bar Association. Here’s to the next 125 years!
