Bench/Bar Conference

The Oakland County Bar Association presented the 2025 Circuit-Probate Court Bench/Bar Conference on Friday, March 7, at Auburn Hills Marriott Pontiac. The conference kicked off with a welcome and introduction by Oakland County Probate Court Judge Daniel A. O’Brien (second from left), Michigan Supreme Court Justice Richard H. Bernstein (second from right), and Oakland County Circuit Court Chief Circuit Judge Jeffery S. Matis (far right). OCBA President Dean Googasian (far left), of The Googasian Firm PC, happily thanked the jurists for their participation. The biennial Bench/Bar Conference offers an opportunity to strengthen connections and collaboration between the bench and the bar. This year’s theme, “Beyond Boundaries: Effective Lawyering in a Digital World,” focused on mastering digital tools in modern legal practice while avoiding common pitfalls.
