The CA State Bar has moved the Swearing-In Ceremony from the Manchester to the nearby Marriott Hotel!

The State Bar’s decision to move the ceremony from the Manchester to the Marriott does not alter BALIF’s plans to protest at the Annual Meeting on September 12, 2009.  Simply moving this meeting 30 feet from the Manchester is not enough. 

The State Bar can remedy the situation, and send a clear message to its members that it will fulfill its mission statement, by declining to do further business with an individual who substantially helped to pass an unjust and discriminatory proposition – the State Bar must move all Annual Meetings, in 2011 and beyond, away from the Manchester Grand Hyatt.
