From the Board
The Atlanta Lawyer ask the Atlanta
Bar Board "What was your favorite
spring break trip during your life as a
lawyer and why?"
productive.
At lunch, we did talk briefly about
the case But, far more importantly,
we did not talk about the case. We
talked about our families, our other
work, our careers, our interests. And
we had a pretty darn good meal,
to boot. It helped immeasurably
in reducing the artificially-inflated
temperature.
Take Your Adversary to Lunch is
perhaps lacking in only one way. It
is the use of the word adversary. I
hesitate to use it, as here it is some-
thing of a misnomer. Your adversary
in one case today could be calling
you tomorrow with a referral. That
will only happen, though, when you
treat others with civility. Regard-
less of whether you participated in
the program this year or not, make
a point to do so next year. In fact,
there is no need to wait.

My favorite Spring Break trip is definitely Cancun, Mexico
because I love the beach, tacos and margaritas. Also, I can
get far enough from work to take a real break, yet close
enough to find wifi and catch up on emails if necessary.
Greg Presmanes, Member at Large
My favorite spring break vacation was when my wife and
I chaperoned our daughter and her closest friends on a
cruise celebrating their graduation from high school. Stay-
ing up late at night and making sure the young ladies were
safe while they were having a great time was definitely a
challenge. Fortunately, there were no casualties (unless
you count the wear and tear on the chaperones).
Maggie Vath, President Elect
I spent this Spring Break in Monterrey, Mexico at the Global
Legal Skills Conference. What a wonderful experience to
share knowledge with LLM legal writing experts, and to fit
in a bit of sight-seeing along the way.
