Family Law Attorneys Mentor/Mentee Group – Date Change: Wednesday, April 4, 2012

The family law attorneys mentor/mentee group normally meets the first Thursday of each month at noon in our office but the April meeting will be held Wednesday, April 4, 2012 because of a scheduling conflict.

Our discussion will focus on how to physically prepare for a trial.  What should your exhibits look like?  How should they be organized and presented to the court? What is the best way to handle witnesses, especially ones who have scheduling issues?  What is actually in your briefcase (or better yet, what should be in your briefcase)?
Please feel free to bring along other attorneys that you feel might benefit from attending our meetings.

Rescheduled Women in Leadership – Tuesday March 20, 12:00-1:00

Due to the cancellation of the Mary Leonard Law Society’s WOMEN IN LEADERSHIP panel today, we have arranged for a reschedule of the event:

Join us for an exciting panel on Women in Leadership. 

Mitzi Naucler, Oregon State Bar President,
Sue Castner, Vision 2020 national delegate
Michelle Vlach-Ing, partner at Crowell Ing

Tuesday, March 20; Noon to 1:00 pm on the Willamette University campus (Room TBA)

As the number of women within the legal field has increased, the expectation arises that equality has been achieved. Fostering female leadership is an integral part of true equality within the profession, however, it is one that is frequently overlooked.

Our participants will discuss with us the challenge of Women in Leadership:
What are the barriers to it?
How can we encourage it?
How can we be a force that drives it?
