Clallam County Bar

There will be no speakers at the upcoming meeting.
Place: Salad Station

Time: 12:00 p.m.

At our next meeting, March 21, 2008, Rob Onnen will be presenting the following CLE:
Topic: 1031 Tax Deferred Exchanges and the Farm Bill

We need the following:
1. Volunteers for committee to review the proposed “Legal Technician Rule”. The Board of Governors is requesting comments on a proposed rule to allow non-attorney “technicians” to take on duties currently reserved for practicing attorneys.
2. Volunteers to review scholarship notebooks. The notebooks will be ready for review by March 20. Committee members are needed now to put together this year’s screening criteria.

See you Friday,
Patrick M. Irwin

The first Friday of the month is here again!

Bar Lunch is this Friday, December 7, 2007 at the Salad Station at 12:00 p.m.

Jacques Dulin will be doing a CLE on Trademarks and the United States Olympic Committee’s assault on local businesses that use the word Olympic in their name. Jacques has been a member of the Patent Bar since 1966 and has been practicing in Sequim since 2004. He also is an active member of the California bar and is on inactive status with the Virginia and Illinois Bar. Cost is $20.00, made out to Pro Bono.

In other news, the soon-to-be Judge S. Brooke Taylor was present at our last meeting and we took the time to give him some feedback on the Superior Court’s proposed schedule. Most of the comments were very positive. If you have further feedback you’ll want to get something to Lindy Clevenger, the Superior Court Administrator as soon as possible. I know the judges will want to have the new schedule in place right after the New Year.

President-elect elections will be at our last meeting of the year on December 21, 2007.

Rob Tulloch will present a CLE on immigration at the October 5, 2007 bar lunch, at the Salad Station (the old Secret Garden).
