section update
Dispute Resolution Section
By Herbert H. (Hal) Gray, III
Section Chair
[email protected]
T
he Dispute Resolution Section is winding up another
great year. Our last program of this Bar year was
held at the Buckhead Club at 7:30 a.m. on May 7 and
featured Bruce Barrickman of Barrickman, Allred & Young,
LLP and BAY Mediation who spoke on why and how parties
choose mediators. Bruce commissioned an empirical study
and presented his findings to attendees at the breakfast.
The Section also honored the recipients of the first annual
Edward J. Henning Memorial Scholarships, which were
presented to outstanding DR students at the Emory, Georgia
State, Georgia, Mercer and John Marshall Law Schools.
If you have an idea for a program for the coming Bar year,
please contact incoming Section Chair Rex Smith of Henning
Mediation, incoming Chair-Elect John Allgood of Ford &
Harrison, LLP or let me know. We will be setting the schedule
in the next few months, and welcome the input of all Section
members.
Have a great summer!
Find people worthy of the name on the door. That was my mentor’s advice.
But the landscape has changed over the last few years. Profits are harder
earned and have to be more wisely spent.
So I’m getting help to ensure we’re always healthy enough to attract and
retain top talent. After all, it might as well be my name on the door.
WE SHINE WHEN WE HOLD OURSELVES TO A HIGHER STANDARD.
