Ron Adams, Clerk of Court, Superior and Magistrate Courts, is seeking to fill several slots in newly created User Groups in the practice areas of real estate, civil, and criminal. 

He states, “The idea is to bring the various parties to the process together to see what can be improved.  I anticipate several meetings of an hour or less at which various matters are discussed and proposed solutions are offered.  I do not have a specific set of matters that I think need addressing.  I am trying to provide a vehicle for collaboration between the parties the Clerk’s office touches.”

The Board of Directors requests your input on nominations for these groups. If you are interested, please reply to info@glynncountybar.org with the subject line “User Group – [Real Estate, Civil, Criminal].”

We look forward to your participation.

Pursuant to the March 31, 2017 email, all members who had not paid their 2017 dues were rolled off our membership list. 

If you would like to renew, you will need to Join as a new member. You can begin that process by clicking Join / Renew and following the instructions. Membership dues can be paid online once you register. If you have multiple people in your firm and want to send one check, each attorney can print out an invoice once they register and send in multiple invoices with one check to our post office box address.

We can't wait to see you at our next event!

UPDATE: Our own Sam Choate did some investigation and determined the 28 hours of training offered is not sufficient to qualify one to mediate generally.  In addition to the 28 hours they offer here, another 12 hours is required. In addition, if one wishes to mediate in domestic relations cases, an additional 42 hours of training is required.

We still think it's wonderful that you can get at least 28 hours of training right here in Glynn County, but we wanted members to be aware of the above.

Exciting News! 

Kennesaw State University's School of Conflict Management is bringing mediation training to Jekyll Island  in June!  This is a chance to get tons of CLE and mediation training without going to Atlanta.

The General Civil Mediation class has been approved for 28 hours of CLE, including 1 ethics and 1 professionalism. This is sold AT COST, in addition to the registration fee. That means $5/per regular credit and $15 for the professionalism credit.

The Domestic Violence Issues in Mediation Class is approved for 14 hours of CLE including 1 ethics and 1 professionalism (also sold at cost, not included in registration fee since each attorney may seek a different number of credits).

REGISTRATION DEADLINE: MAY 5, 2017

We are aware that mailings to our post office box are getting returned. The Post Office has stated there is no reason this should be happening, and as of February 16, 2017, the Post Office has confirmed the Bar's post office box should receive mail. If you have mail returned, please notify us at info@glynncountybar.org.
