Thank you to everyone above( besides us) for the excellent programs and articles. The strength of our section depends on the contributions of generous volunteers like them.
With that said, our slate for the new year is wide open, so please reach out to us if you’ d like to be involved. Even if you only have an idea for a program, we can help you find speakers and come up with questions. Or maybe you want to write an article but don’ t have a topic in mind— we can help you with that, too! Participating in the section is a great way to put yourself out there, hone your speaking or writing skills, and learn a thing or two about appellate practice. n
