PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE The LONG REACH OF THE ATLANTA BAR By James D. Blitch IV Blitch Law PC BARD SHOW Not to be left on the sidelines, the Atlanta Bar Association weighed in on the 2016 election with Courthouse Line XII: Mock the Vote. The comedy musical, written more than six months ago, started its three-day run (November 10-12) just two days after the election and played to delighted audiences. The story line: an intriguing three person race for president of the State Bar of Georgia. The cast: 70+ lawyers and judges under the leadership of the show’s amazing director, Cathy O’Neil. The result: plenty of laughs and smiles (and funds for the important charitable work of the Atlanta Bar Foundation). The Official News Publication of the Atlanta Bar Association THE ATLANTA LAWYER 5
