Filling the new position is Burton Berger, formerly known to many Bar mem- bers as a coordinator at the Nebraska Center for Continuing Education, where he worked with the Great Plains Federal Tax Institute. Burton was chosen for the position by a special committee under authorization from the House of Delegates at the last Annual Meeting. The new office is at 1019 Sharp Build- ing in Lincoln, with telephone number of 477-7717(area code 402). All Bar Associa- tion members are invited to drop in for a cup of coffee and a chance to become acquainted with the new office when in Lincoln. LEGISLATIVE PROGRAM Tom Davies, our genial, hard-working president-elect, has been busy develop- ing our legislative program for the coming year. While the program is going well, Tom has suggested that any member with legis- lation in mind should contact the chair- man of the appropriate committee. For a good legislative program, we should have all proposed legislation approved by the necessary committees and in the hands of key legislators by fall. We can then obtain sponsors for the bills and get them introduced on the first legislative day, Tom pointed out. MID-YEAR MEETING SET FOR JUNE 12 This year's Mid-Year Meeting will be held June 12 in the Cornhusker Hotel in Lincoln, according to Bert Overcash, chairman of the House of Delegates. It may well turn out to be the most important mid-year meeting in the history of the Association, Bert said. Six reports of committee and other activities of the Association, all requiring some kind of formal action, are on the agenda for the morning session. One major decision confronting the delegates will be consideration of a new set of Rules and Bylaws for the Nebraska State Bar. These have been under development by a special com- mittee for a number of years, and are now ready for presentation to the Court if this is approved by the House. Another major topic is a new budget for the Association. Details are given in the President's Message,inside. Other matters facing the delegates include consideration of a proposed new Minimum Fee Schedule for the Assoc- iation, possible adoption of the re- port of the Bar-News Media Committee, the position of the Bar on Proposition No. 9 on Judicial Reform, and support needed to further the work of a new Committee on a Law Complex Building at the University of Nebraska. During the afternoon session, mem- bers attending will have an opportunity to hear presentations on the Tax Reform Act of 1969. All members of the Association are welcome and are urged to attend any session. THE NEBRASKA May, 1970 I A S SOCI A TIO N ST A TE B AR
