We were fortunate to have lawyerlegislators Representative Ed Lindsey (R) and Representative Stacey Evans (D) provide the recap and answer questions about what happened under the gold dome this year. The Litigation Section will be cosponsoring the Meet the Judges Luncheon on July 25 at noon at the Capital City Club. This is always a great event and provides Atlanta Bar members with an opportunity to interact with our local judiciary. Please make plans to attend. The Litigation Section would like to introduce our officers and board for the 2014-15 Bar year: Leigh Martin May (Chair), Kevin Weimar (Vice Chair/Chair Elect), Steve Cummings (Secretary), Christina Baugh (Treasurer), Matt McGuire (Immediate Past President), Louis Cohan, Terrence Croft, Hon. Susan Edlein, Jonathan Hawkins, Ed Konieczny, Robert Huestis, Cindy Manning, and Ben Shapiro. The breakfast meetings begin again on September 12, 2014.
