Publications Committee

Committee Chair and Editor-In-Chief: Jennifer Roberts, Esq. of WynnBet

The Publications Committee produces Communiqué, the official publication of the Clark County Bar Association. Bar members are invited to get involved and volunteer to plan the editorial calendar, write, recruit authors, and copy edit each publication.

Copy editors needed: Editors spend about 1-3 hours per month proofreading copy. Although many committee members have prior experience writing for law school journals or college newspapers, such experience is not necessary. Editing improves writing skills too! For more information, interested bar members can reach out to Stephanie at the CCBA office at (702) 387-6011.

Participation on the Publications Committee is limited to current attorney and JD members of the CCBA. Typically, the Publications Committee will meet at noon on the second Friday of the month.
