T
he Litigation Section has a number of exciting
programs that will be held throughout this Bar year. On
the second Friday of every month, the Section holds a
breakfast and CLE program at 7:30 a.m. at the Ansley Golf
Club.
I would like to introduce this year’s Section Board of Directors:
Chair, Stephen P. Cummings; Secretary, Christina Baugh;
Treasurer, Edward Koneiczny; and Members-at-Large, M.
Gino Brogdon Jr., Louis R. Cohan, Hon. Susan E. Edlein,
John D. Hadden, Robert S. Huestis, and Simon R. Malko;
and Emeritus Member, Terrence L. Croft. We look forward to
serving the Section and invite you to reach out to any of us if
you have events that you want the Section to consider or topics
to propose for an upcoming breakfast and CLE program.
As part of the Section’s judicial outreach efforts, we continue
to offer free admission for all judges and judicial law clerks
who wish to attend the Section’s events.
And this year, we will be offering a Season Pass for all Section
breakfast and CLE programs. By doing so, you avoid having
to register each month, you get a free program and you will
never have a problem if some of the programs sell out. This
offer is valid through October 2015.
The Litigation Section would like to thank its Section sponsors
for their support. They are ATS (Applied Technical Services);
Duplicating Products, Esquire Solutions; Habif, Arogeti &
Wynne, LLP; JAMS, and The Partners Group.
We are currently accepting articles for the Section’s newsletter,
The Litigator, and anyone that wishes to
submit an article should contact John
Hadden at [email protected].
On May 12, 2015, at the Section’s Bench
and Bar reception, which was hosted
by Nelson Mullins, Judge Herbert E.
Phipps of the Georgia Court of Appeals
graciously received the Logan E.
Bleckley Distinguished Service Award.
Upcoming Section events include
speakers Anthony L. Cochran, Lisa L.
Heller and Henry Chalmers who will
speak on “Using Discovery Special
Masters In Complex Business Cases:
A Case Study” that will be held at the
Section’s first breakfast meeting on
September 11, 2015 at 7:30 a.m. at
the Ansley Golf Club. A complete list
of the Section’s upcoming programs
can be found in the Upcoming Events
list on the Section’s webpage at
