SECTION UPDATE SECTION UPDATE
Lunch Meetings Litigation Joint Section
The Criminal Law Section has had three lunch meetings so
far in 2017. We have had presentations from an FBI agent,
who spoke to the group about domestic terrorism and hate
crimes, as well as both a Fulton County Assistant District At-
torney and an Assistant United States Attorney, who spoke
to the group about the investigation and prosecution of
Atlanta’s Street Gangs. A presentation on marketing your ADR practice was pre-
sented at a joint session with the litigation section in Sep-
tember 2017 by Terrence Croft, mediator and arbitrator with
JAMS, W. Bruce Barrickman, a principle of BAY Mediation,
Joe Murphey, a Team Leader at Miles Mediation, Michelle
Gibson, a neutral and the proprietor of Digital Smart Tools
which provides marketing for ADR professionals.
Gordon Biersch Corporate Counsel Joint Section
On a sad note, we had our last meeting at Gordon Biersch
Midtown, the longtime host of our monthly luncheons, who
shuttered their doors in November. But we look forward to
finding a new home in 2018, and hearing more fascinating
presentations from members of our Criminal Law commu-
nity. Already confirmed for next year is newly-confirmed
United States Attorney Byung J. Pak. See you there! A presentation on drafting arbitration clauses was organized
by Ken Menendez and presented by the American Arbitra-
tion Association, in October 2017, at a joint session with the
corporate counsel section.
