The Family Law Section in its first year of existence, is so new that it doesn't have its officers officially elected yet. Officers will be elected by mail ballot contained in the Section's first quarterly newsletter. Family Law topics are covered extensively in the October Bench and Bar Seminar. The program includes a welcome by Carma Christ- ensen of the Family Law Section. Sec- tion members are encouraged to at- tend. The Young Lawyers Section is cohost- Ing its first annual Wine and Cheese Party following the Homecoming CLE Seminar. In conjunction with the Law School, the party will run from 5:00 - 6:30 p.m. at the J.Lloyd Stone Alumni Center on the UND Campus. Section Chairman David Bailly and others will be on hand to welcome party goers. The Young Lawyers Section hopes to make this an annual event. The Mineral Law Committee of the Real Property, Probate and Trust Section is drafting possible legislation on the a- bandonment of mineral rights. Accord- ing to Committee member Jack Sher- man, current statutes on abandonment could cause confusion. The Real Prop- erty, Probate and Trust Section has also been authorized to meet with the North Dakota Abstractors to collaborate on a set of forms. The Section on Corporation and Busi- ness, Taxation, and Family Law all plan a quarterly newsletter for their mem- bers. The newsletters will be included with the GAVEL and will contain sever- al items of local interest and a major ar- ticle by national and local experts. All sections will be monitoring legis- lation, providing a forum for discus- sion, diseminating information to the members of the bar and the public, and functioning generally to improve prac- tice in their area of the law. The standard fee for membership is $10.00 per section which can be paid with the license fee by checking the ap- propriate boxes. Some SBAND mem- bers have suggested the possibility of sections on agricultural law and legal rights of women. If you would have an interest in being a member of these sec- tions please let us know at P.O. Box 2136, Bismarck, North Dakota 58502.
