Conclusion
Many will greatly benefit from online doc-
ument storage. Although the security issues
may seem daunting, the reality is that many
small firms have fewer security controls on
internal documents living on individual
desktops, laptops, mobile devices, external
media, and small business servers. The
benefits of mobile file access, secure shar-

2017 Curbing the Violence Summit
Now on YouTube
If you missed the CBA’s Curbing the Violence
Summit which was held at The Standard Club
on May 19, catch the entire day’s programming
now on the CBA’s Youtube Channel at www.
The event brought
together thought leaders from around Chicago
in fields such as the law, education, religion, and
government to develop solutions to the violence
affecting Chicago.
problem. Noting the omnipresence of guns
in the Chicago community, Judge Mulroy
observes, “the focus has to be on people.
What is causing the gun violence? It used
to be primarily gangs and turf. Now we
have social media playing a major role
in gun violence, with assailants avenging
social media attacks by shooting the person
who posted a nasty message.” Again, Judge
Mulroy sees this as a way for “lawyers to
get involved in the bigger picture” and
offer solutions that go far beyond the legal
community.
Topical Speakers’ Series
Judge Mulroy has big plans for the Speak-
ers’ Series. “I want it to be topical and
timely, something lawyers will talk about
beyond the courtroom or conference
room.” Among other speakers, Judge
Mulroy has invited attorneys featured in
Netflix’s Making of a Murderer series.
Call to Action
Judge Mulroy envisions a CBA where
lawyers can find camaraderie. “You have
to meet and become friends with as many
lawyers as you can. Business is more fun if
you know your colleagues. It is less stressful
if you know and interact with people going
through the same struggles as you.” If Judge
Mulroy had his wish, every member would
get more involved in the CBA. “We want
this to be a place where lawyers further
their profession. But we also want it to be a
place where lawyers can meet and broaden
their horizons and discuss important issues
that affect society as a whole.”
