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.
