In the 29 years that I have enjoyed the CCBA, a lot of things have changed. More judges, courts, court houses, lawyers. Clermont County has grown in nearly every way. Our association has always been a collegial group, welcoming to young attorneys, or law students, as I was, when I began an internship with the public defender’s office. In addition to willing mentors, I found numerous social activities to encourage assisimilation into the legal community, Softball at McCabe’s, dinner after County Court, Stumps Boast club, golf outings, Goldminer’s, Moonlight Chili to name a few. Indeed, to some extent, practicing in our county was (and remains) a social event, in and of itself. What a great way to begin a practice.
As our county population has grown, posing different challenges, so has our association. I am very appreciative of the opportunity to serve as your President for 2008. Thank you! So how can we best serve you?
We have made some informal inquiries, floated a few ideas, and gotten some suggestions. I’d like to know what you think. We intend to send a questionnaire soliciting ideas. PLEASE give it earnest thought and response. Join our effort to strengthen our venerated institution.

2008 CCBA President
