Various crises - including the lack of an
editor - account for the delay in publishing this
issue of the Newsletter. The second issue for the
year should appear on schedule in June. Editing
the NeTwsletter is thoroughly enjoyable; if you're
interested in editing the 1995-96 issues, contact me
at (313) 596-0240.
The Section's Secretary-Treasurer Gretchen
Feltes is coordinating our program on judicial biog-
raphy for the Pittsburgh meeting The program will
be held on Sunday. July 16, 1995, at 2:45 P.M.
Details on the program will appear in the next issue
of the Newsletter.
The Section's business meeting in Pittsburgh
will be held at 5:15 P.M. on Monday, July 16. We
have two serious items to address - the amend-
ments to the Section's bylaws and our programs
for the 1996 annual meeting in Indianapolis. For
the 1996 meeting, we will be guaranteed two pro-
gram slots, so this is an excellent opportunity to
revive some of our earlier programs that had been
rejected by the Education Committee and to ad-
dress the needs and interests of the Section's men-
bers. If you have any program ideas and can't
attend the business meeting, be sure to contact me
as soon as possible.
