However, the annual BBQ at the Bar (formerly Domus on the Lawn) is held rain or shine, and this year was no exception. Between burgers and beans, bites of conversation gave hints of why this event is always successful.

Domus, the informal name of the NCBA building in Mineola, is designed in a style representative of London's Inns of Court and features The Great Hall and fireplace, meeting and conference rooms and a formal dining room open for lunch every day. This building provides an exceptional home for all NCBA members. Domus is an intricate part of the spirit of the Bar Association, said NCBA President Steven J. Eisman.

Our committees meet morning, noon and night and offer something for everyone. Here are some examples of the great opportunities. Morning Hospitals and Health Law kicked off its program year with a detailed presentation entitled PrivacyUpdate: HIPAA, HITECH and the Omnibus Rule. Farrell Fritz's Jeffrey P. Rust presented to an every-seat-taken crowd in the Founders' Room, beginning at 8:30 a.m. This committee meets on the first Thursday of each month. The attendees shared a slightly lighter moment during this intense overview of HIPAA pitfalls and penalties when - mid presentation - a member's cell phone blurted out in true Siri fashion: I don't understand what See COMMITTEES, Page 24
