Operative words
"A considerable amount of time was spent looking at every conceivable option for Annual Convention including postponing or canceling the convention all together... In the end, it was determined that the Annual Convention will be held exclusively as a virtual or remote event"; the decision "was easy when measured against the necessity of protecting the health and safety of Florida lawyers and Bar staff" (President John Stewart, May 8, 2020)
