Meet CBA President Patricia Brown Holmes

A Bar Association for Everyone

Judge Patricia Brown Holmes is everything you would hope for in a leader: warm, funny, and welcom- ing. The second African American female president of the CBA, her life, struggles, and the philosophy imparted by her parents all inform her leadership of the bar. A self-described rabble- rouser, Holmes brings a spirt and energy to her office, and, as is clear from the stories of her youth and legal career, she is a member of the vanguard on issues of race, justice, and inclusion.
