So I recently went this last Wednesday and Thursday to the Arkansas Bar Association's annual meeting in Hot Springs. I signed up to proctor a room so it ended up being free. Wednesday I sat in on classes about family law, how the new health care reform will affect AR, and dependency neglect law. On Thursday I sat in on a motivation speech by Governor Beebe, leadership classes, and how to be a better trial lawyer. The food was good-a little to much junk food for me to resist the temptation of, and I got to meet and introduce myself to other lawyers. No I did not find a clerkship, but I did talk to some people about doing work in the next few semester and gained some leads. The conference was in the Arlington Hotel and the Hot Springs Convention Center. I had to pick John up late from work so he put in some overtime this week-hehe. I wish I could have stayed for the mixers at night but I was not going to pay for a hotel room and we only have one car. Speaking of people I ran into at the conference I ran into Judge Baker who I had interned for on the Arkansas Appeals Court. I was disappointed that she lost her primary election bid for Supreme Court Justice by 1.5% and is now going to have to run again for the position in November. I encourage all in Arkansas to vote for Judge Baker in November to the Supreme Court. I know I am biased having worked for her, but she is a conservative moderate who has experience and follows the law.
