The Atlanta Lawyer February/March 2020 | Page 34

JUDICIAL It’s been a busy year working to advance our Section’s two goals: (1) to make sure that all judges, no matter their years of service, have the tools and support they need to serve in a sustainable way and (2) to foster productive bench-bar relationships. To those ends, the Section has sponsored The Legal Runaround 5K Race Walk and Tot Trot to support the Atlanta Bar Foundation as well as the Atlanta Bar Association’s End of Summer Band Party; in October 2019, we cosponsored a joint social with the Labor & Employment, Litigation, and Estate Planning Sections at Hotel Claremont’s Roof Top. On November 11, 2019, the Judicial Section partnered with the Public Interest Law Section to co-sponsor a lunch and learn on the topics of secondary trauma and wellness; as a community service project, the Judicial Section provided books to adoptive families at the Juvenile Court’s National Adoption Day on November 23, 2019.
