FROM THE SECTION CHAIR
CHAIR’S FAREWELL
Written by Mary McKelvey
Chair
Leadership is a privilege and I am extraordinarily grateful for the opportunity to have served as Chair of the Litigation Section this past year. As I prepare to pass the baton, I cannot help but reflect on how much I have learned from the attorneys and judges with whom I have had the honor of working with. These are individuals who are not only at the top of their profession, but committed to upleveling the practice of law in California and empowering others.
The Litigation Section continues to provides outstanding programs and educational materials for litigators and appellate practitioners, including premier programming focused on alternative dispute resolution. The Section also hosts the acclaimed Week in Legal London event where participants are afforded a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to interact with UK colleagues at exceptional legal and historic destinations including the Supreme Court, the Old Bailey, Oxford Crown Court, the House of Lords and so much more. This is all done solely through volunteer efforts of some of the finest lawyers and judges in the state. It would take far more than the space allotted here to list them all and so I sincerely thank each of you for all you do.
