March 24, 2009 Meeting

At the March 24, 2009 meeting, Inn members were delighted with the presentation by Team 6 entitled, "Fee Collection and Disputes In a Down Economy". Thanks to Team 6 for a presentation that was as informative and entertaining as it was timely.

Next up -- a presentation by Team 7 at our April 28, 2009 meeting you won't want to miss -- "A Monochrome Legal Profession in a Technicolor World: Despite Some Substantial Efforts at Diversity, the Legal Profession Remains Predominantly White and Male." Mark your calendars, and we'll look forward to seeing you then.

February 24, 2009 Meeting

We met on February 24, 2009 for our fifth meeting of the year where members were treated to Team 5's presentation on the "Witness From Hell." Speaking from a wholly objective standpoint -- of course -- the skits presented were as funny as they were informative, and the acting was, in a word, superb. In all seriousenss, we, the members of Team 5, were glad to see that our skits did generate thoughtful discussion on how to handle difficult witnesses before and during trial.

Next up is Team 6's presentation, led by Judge Sanders and Rosanna Sattler, on how to approach fee disputes in a down economy.

February 2, 2009 Meeting

Our joint meeting with the Suffolk Inn of Court was a huge success by all accounts, in no small part due to the terrific presentation led by Judge Frank Williams and Renee Landers on Abraham Lincoln, the lawyer.  Equally enjoyable was the chance to meet with our friends at the Suffolk Inn.  Thanks to our Co-President, Matthew Baltay, and Suffolk's President, Kevin Currid, for making the joint-meeting happen.

October 28, 2008 Meeting

Thanks to Team 2, led by Jim Harrington and Judge Pearson, for their terrific presentation of "It's a Wonderful Life . . . or is it?"  While the subject matter -- ethical conundrums, potential client relationship disasters, and bears, oh my! - was sobering, Team 2 managed to entertain and inform throughout their lively skits.  The early teams continue to set the bar high for those that follow.
