What's Up at Division 1 (No. 17) -- SEE YOU IN MEMPHIS!

The Forum is going to Memphis, TN (for the first time I think) from September 28-30th.  Register here for the meeting and practicum.  If you cannot make it in person, you can sign-up for the virtual program to receive the great CLE.  

Division 1 is holding its annual planning retreat on September 28th at 9am.  Please email me (Tom Dunn, rtdunn@PierceAtwood.com) to learn of the room name/location and/or receive the Teams invite to participate remotely.   Come and bring your ideas to plan out the 2022/2023 Bar Year which started at the beginning of September.  We will have some new Division 1 braded gifts at this meeting for D1 leadership so please try your best to travel early to attend.  

We will be hosting a construction trial skills practicum in the afternoon on September 28th.  Jason Rodgers-da Cruz lead our team to plan this practicum on openings and jury selection.  The space is limited to 25 people and it is almost sold out so register as soon as possible.  

We are doing our social event also on Wednesday night at 6:30PM in Memphis.  We are going to Itta Bena just down the road from The Peabody.  It is part of BB King's Blue's Club and is fine southern dining.  This dinner will cost $75/person thanks to the generous sponsorship of Breakwater Forensics LLC.  Register for the dinner here.  

Our lunch program will be on Thursday, September 29th.  Brett Henson and Jade Davis coordinated this lunch program on early dispute resolution with their colleague, Peter Silverman, from Shumaker

We formed a concepts book team led by Marissa Downs and Brett Henson.  If you want to join that team to propose programs / publications for next Bar Year, please email me and we will add you to this committee.  This is a great way to get in the pipeline for speaking opportunities.  

End of Summer / Start of the Fall

Summer went by TOO QUICKLY for me this year.  I went to the Forum's Summer Conference in Lake Tahoe, NV and attended the Forum's Leadership Planning Retreat there as well.  In addition to the CLE, we had a fantastic time with other Forum members and their families including parasailing, white water rafting, and other fun stuff.  I hope you all had a relaxing summer and I look forward to kicking off a productive ABA Bar Year with you in Memphis.  Here are some photos from Tahoe:
