YOUNG LAWYERS CHAMBER CHAT By Craig R. Borchers
On November 1st, the BCBA Young Lawyers Section and MSBA Young Lawyers Section Membership Committee teamed up to host the latest in a long tradition of Chamber Chats at the Circuit Court. For this installment, Judge Justin King and Judge Colleen Cavanaugh met with a small group attorneys and law clerks over a delicious spread of sandwiches and cookie from Cunningham’s Café. A special thanks to the MSBA YLS Membership Committee for sponsoring the event which provided the lunch and allowed for the program to be free to members. This Chamber Chat, like the many before, offered a wonderful opportunity for members of the bar to speak casually and informally with the judges and get to know them on a more personal level. As one would expect, Judge King and Judge Cavanaugh were such gracious guests who offered invaluable
THE ADVOCATE
advice and insight based from not only their experience on the bench, but also their extensive careers prior to taking the bench. The conversation ranged from civility and preparation to work/life balance and even the Judges’ memories from their experience on the election trail. One will never go wrong paying attention to, and implementing, the various bestpractice tips that were highlighted that afternoon. We cannot thank Judge King and Judge Cavanaugh enough for giving of their time and sharing their experiences and advice. Please keep an eye out for future Chamber Chats coming in 2019. We welcome lawyers, young and old, to join us in these invaluable and fun Chats.
