It’s that time of year again! Jennifer Snider and Teresa Foster are looking for attorneys who would like to volunteer to rate the teams at Mock Trial.
The tournament will be held on Wednesday and Thursday, February 23 and 24, 2011. The rounds will start at the following times:
Wednesday: 12:30pm 2:45pm 5:00pm
Thursday: 12:30pm 2:45pm 5:00pm
The trials are held at the Clark County Courthouse. Raters need to assemble for each round in the first floor jury assembly room. They should arrive a few minutes early to get room assignments and score sheets. The Bar Association will provide food. Each round lasts about 2 hours (some additional time may be needed to score the rounds or in the event we are running behind).
If you are interested in volunteering please contact Jennifer Snider,
jens@j-slaw.com or Teresa Foster, tfoster@mbavancouverlaw.com
Thanks for volunteering!

Congrats to Kristen Parcher
The FLS would like to offer congratulations to Kristen Parcher, a former FLS member, who has been appointed as a new District Court Commissioner!
FLS December recap and January meeting info
The Family Law Section had their annual holiday meeting last month. The meeting was entertaining and offered an opportunity for our members to bond over poking fun of their colleagues; all in fun of course!
Some of the awards given include a harmonica for Dean Langsdorf so he can sing the blues in Court; marbles for Bob Vukanovich not because he lost his but because he’s the guy everyone wants to play with at the playground; the Vancouver Gevurtz Menashe members received maps of Clark County and armor to protect them from their new colleagues here in Clark County; a large to heart was given to Jolene Sell to honor her ability to manage with heart; a remote control for Judge Collier so he can use the mute button (or parties may use the mute button on him); and even Santa received an award…a cash register from Commissioner Schienberg to can keep track of all the fees he orders.
The next FLS meeting will be Thursday, January 13, 2011 from 11:30 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. at Tommy O’s and will be on the topic of “Reality of Residential Lending and Credit Practice” to further a discussion some of our members had at our September 2010 meeting.
