Trial & Litigation Section
Hosts Mayor Buckhorn

HCBA Bench Bar Conference
as a sponsor, and through the
participation of our Section’s
membership. This event offered
a fantastic opportunity to
interact with our judiciary
outside of chambers and the
courtroom, particularly during
the Annual Judicial Reception
that immediately followed the
conclusion of the conference
meetings. The conference is
hosted in October of each year,
so be sure to add it to your list
of things to do next year.
With respect to pro bono,
there are renewed efforts by
the Thirteenth Judicial Circuit
Pro Bono Committee to
coordinate and facilitate pro
bono projects among the
HCBA sections. The Trial &
Litigation Section is answering
the call. Providing pro bono
representation is imperative
to further justice and instill
public confidence in our
judicial system. Please contact
any Section board member
to learn more about what
opportunities are available to
help. Our contact information
is on our Section webpage at:
www.hillsbar.com/group/TLS.
Our board members are
exemplary attorneys, citizens,
and leaders who are dedicated
to improving our profession
and serving our members.
Please thank them for their
often-unnoticed labor when
you get a chance. I look
forward to seeing you at
our events.
