Welcome to a New Bar Year

Welcome to a new bar year as a member of the Appellate Practice Section. After an unusually challenging year for so many, I look forward to spending more time together as we build on the section’s tradition of excellent programing and services.

I want to warmly thank Stephen Feldman for his excellent leadership as chair last year. I am honored to assume responsibility as chair after several years on the section council and in section leadership. I am currently an academic fellow at Columbia Law School researching criminal law and policy after serving seven years as an assistant United States attorney in the Eastern District of North Carolina.

Section leadership is already working on planning many interesting events, and we will provide more information you as they draw nearer. In the meantime, please note some key dates for this year:

September 23, 2021: Section council meeting
December 2, 2021: Section council meeting
March 11, 2022: Section council meeting
April 27, 2022: Annual meeting and CLE
June 2, 2022: Section council meeting

If you are interested in becoming more involved in the section or have suggestions for programs or events, please contact me at [email protected]. If you would like to remain a section member for this bar year and have not already renewed your section membership, please try to do so by the end of August.

Thank you for the opportunity to serve as your chair this year. I look forward to working with all of you.
