The concept met with such verbal approval by the trial judges at the Judicial Council conference that a committee was appointed to study the proposal. That committee is to report at the Council's next meeting in October, 1984. In the event the report is favorable, the Association will undertake to seek official status of trial practice committees through action by the Arkansas Supreme Court. This report will be published in the July issue of the Arkansas Lawyer and is my last report. As Sam Goldwin said, "Forecasts are dangerous, particularly those about the future." However, because the Association's activities do not neatly begin and end with
the president's term, I am going to assume the danger. The tradition of excellence is well established with our Association publications, and will continue. The program for our Fall Legal Institute will be outstanding under the direction of Dean Jake Looney. The work of the special committees on legislation for a Judicial Compensation Commission, mandatory continuing legal education, and the Model Rules will be successfully completed in 1984-85. The Association will be guided under the able leadership of Bill Wilson. The capable administration of our fine executive director, Bill Martin. will bring quality services to the Association members. I have greatly enjoyed the distinction and privilege of being your president. I thank each of you for the opportunity to lead this line lawyer organization. 0
