I hope you can take part in one or more of the many events the Atlanta Bar has coming up this spring.
Atticus Finch CLE
There is a special CLE program –“ Atticus Finch: Who was he? Who is he? Thoughts on an American Hero and Local Politics”– that will take place on March 2( 6pm to 8pm) at Emory Law School. It will feature Professor Joseph Crespino( Jimmy Carter Professor of History at Emory University), Joseph Beck( with Kilpatrick Townsend), and Judge Richard Story, who will give the closing argument as Atticus, a role he has played in a local theatre production of“ To Kill A Mockingbird.” This program( one hour of professionalism CLE credit) opens with a wine and cheese reception and promises to be an engaging evening. Register for the Atticus Finch CLE here.

All profits will benefit the Summer Law Internship Program( SLIP) which is celebrating its 25th Anniversary this year. It will be a fun night – and all for a good cause.
