19 Pub. Cont. Newsl. 1 (1983-1984)

handle is hein.journals/procurlw19 and id is 1 raw text is: Section 9f Public Contract Law, American Bar Association Volume 19, Number 1, Fall 1983 REVISITING QG.YLLA AND (AHARYBDIS Our Section meets in mid-Novem- ber at Boca Raton. It offers a ver- dant, varied, and hospitable re- spite for wearied warriors of the bar: swimming, tennis, golf, boat- ing, distilled spirits, dancing by the sea, excellent food in a hand- some old dining room and the romance of the Florida Coast. This was not always true, however. For early sailors, the inlet was frought with perils. Its name is a Spanish nautical term meaning Mouth of the Hidden Rocks. An all-day educational program will be held Friday, November 18. Panelists will chart courses among modern-day legal reefs, explaining current developments and prob- lems involving judicial review of protests, certification of claims, and interest-recovery issues, etc., arising under the Contract Dis- putes and Federal Courts Im- provement Acts. Chief Judge Alex Kozinski of the U.S. Claims Court will be a featured navigator. On Saturday and, if necessary, Sunday morning, the Council of the Section will consider storms and hazards currently confronting the public contract bar. All mem- bers of the Section are invited to at- tend. There also will be meetings of the Construction Committee (Tom Treacy, helmsman) and the Insur- ance and Indemnification Com- mittee (Larry Stich, helmsman) at times to be named. Fred Sass and Tom Patten will defend their Section champion- ships on the golf links. Tom Aber- nathy and Jim Myers will welcome challengers on the tennis courts. Others may wish to explore for hid- den rocks, search for the Platonic ideal or simply relax in the sun- shine. At the conclusion of evening festivities, Section astronomers will, upon request, locate Polaris and other navigational aids. We hope you can join us in Boca Raton. Trial Advocacy Course Set for January The Section's third annual Trial Advo- cacy Course will be held in Washington, D.C., at George Washington Universi- ty's Marvin Center from January 8 to 14, 1984. The program instructs both new and practicing attorneys in the skills necessary for successful advocacy before both the Boards of Contract Ap- peals and the Claims Court. A single factual situation is carried from initial witness conference to trial. Students prepare and question witnesses, review their own performance using video re- plays, participate in critique sessions and observe the performance of other students. We have had nothing but rave reviews from students. It is an excep- tional opportunity for young lawyers to practice and learn, along with counter- parts in and outside of government, from experienced judges and practi- tioners. Enrollment is limited to forty- eight students.
