22 Jud. Div. Rec. 1 (2018-2019)

handle is hein.aba/judrc0022 and id is 1 raw text is: am humbled and honored to be Chair of the Judicial Division, following in the very capable s Cfootsteps of Col. /Judge Linda Murnane and Judge Ann Breen-Greco, respectively. I thank the National Conference of State Trial Judges for electing me and entrusting me with this very important position. I thank Judicial Division staff for their assistance in getting me to this point and for their continued support. My theme for this year, Securing Our Future: Diversity and Inclusion, Access to Justice, Judicial Independence and the Rule of Law, has a two-fold goal. First, securing our, the Judicial Division's, place within the ABA. Being visible within the ABA and working e , collaboratively with other ABA entities on programs, CLEs and projects that address the issues of diversity and inclusion, and access to justice, and promoting judicial independence and the rule of law. The second goal is securing the status of the judiciary in this country. Collaborating with organizations outside of the ABA to develop programs to addressing these issues will be a major part of this endeavor. In support of this theme, I have requested each Conference within the Judicial ` Division to create two or three Judge Talks or How To vignettes on topics that will be useful for our Division members and members from other ABA entities as they go about the business of judging, practicing law, and navigating law school. Such topics may include: dealing with a difficult opposing counsel; key questions for an expert witness at a deposition; practical tips for a new judge to manage the courtroom; tips for a new Administrative/Presiding Judge on establishing policies on sexual harassment, Continuity of Operations Plan (COOP), HR, etc.; how to get a judicial clerkship; what do judicial law clerks do, and the like. I certainly welcome any ideas or suggestions on possible topics. Volunteers to create the scripts are also welcome. As many of you know, last year we lost a great friend and mentor with the passing of our former Chair the Honorable William D. Missouri. It is my hope and expectation to create an award in his name, The William D. Missouri Civility Award. We are in the process of preparing the proposal for approval by the JD Council to present to the ABA Board of Governors for approval at its October meeting. It is anticipated that the first annual award will be presented at the ABA Annual Meeting in San Francisco next year.
