has some experience in these hearings . When I was a baby lawyer , I would handle at least one injunction hearing a month for LAMS to get courtroom experience so this is a great way for any younger attorneys to get in the courtroom and learn the ropes of litigation . I know we are all very busy with our paying clients , but I hope you ’ ll consider volunteering with LAMS . They have so many opportunities in different areas of practice and it doesn ’ t have to take a lot of your time on a monthly basis .
Since this is our last Docket of the year , I want to wish everyone a Happy Thanksgiving , Happy Hanukkah , Merry Christmas , Happy Kwanzaa , or whatever holiday you celebrate . I hope to see some of you at the YLD holiday party , which we are planning to have in person and look forward to more in person meetings next year . �
