3. Conduct research, investigations and surveys of subjects, problems and activities related to law and its administration and publish reports based on the results obtained.
4. Encourage and support traditional activities and innovative and broadened activities relating to the continuing education of practicing lawyers and the introduction of law school graduates to the practice of law, all enhancing the performance of ethical responsibilities by the legal profession.
