The CMBA, with funding from the Cleveland Metropolitan Bar Foundation, changes lives with our legal and educational programs. Xavier Thomas-Hughes is a perfect example of a young man who experienced the value of the Stephanie Tubbs Jones Summer Legal Academy, the Louis Stokes Scholars, and the support and mentorship that is unique to our Bar.
