The committee was co-chaired this year by Dane Heptner and Stephanie Generotti.
The national Law Day theme the ABA selected this year was:“ Separation of Powers: Framework for Freedom.”
And Heptner told the luncheon attendees that more than 80 HCBA volunteer lawyers and judges helped lead mock trials, courthouse tours, and classroom discus sions this spring.
Plus, there was a related art competition for students that featured 21 submissions( art contest winners shown in photo above with their artwork at Law Day luncheon). Additional details on the winners and their artwork are on page 38. Overall, more than 3,750 students were involved in Law Week activities, Heptner said.
* * * Meantime, the annual luncheon also marked the unofficial end to the 2017-18 Bar year.
And under the outstanding leadership of President Gordon Hill and the HCBA Board, it has been a stellar year for sure.
From all the membership luncheons, the annual Bench Bar Conference, the Holiday Open House, all

the HCBA diversity events, the HCBA Pig Roast and Food Festival, and 5K Pro Bono River Run, and the Bar Foundation’ s annual Law & Liberty Dinner, there was something for everyone.
And that doesn’ t even include all the other outstanding CLE programs and community service events. Plus, all the successful events put on by the HCBA’ s superb Young Lawyers Division, which was ably led by YLD President Melissa Mora.
Looking ahead, I’ m confident incoming HCBA President John Schifino will continue the good work that has made the HCBA the wonderful organization it is today. Here’ s hoping everyone has a great rest of the summer. See you around the Chet.
