The Pennsylvania Bar Association (PBA) presented a County Bar Recognition Award virtually to the Lancaster Bar Association during the 55th annual Seminar of the Conference of County Bar Leaders on Feb. 25.

With the added stress of COVID-19, teachers have taken on a new level of responsibility. In recognition of the ever-increasing number of worries and concerns teachers have for both their students and their families and in an effort to alleviate one potentially significant source of stress, the Lancaster Bar Association and the Lancaster Law Foundation have offered free phone consultations and signing appointments with an attorney to provide local teachers and their spouses with living wills and health care powers of attorney. As of Feb. 25, 108 local teachers and their spouses had taken part in this free service.
