To foster collegiality among the members of the Court. In an effort to promote and enhance the good working relationship between the Bench and the Bar, a standing committee, Liaison with the Bar, has been incorporated into the by-laws to address issues of mutual concern to both Associations. Our Association is presently engaged with the Bar Association of Erie County in reviewing the judicial evaluation process. Also, as a result of a luncheon meeting with representatives of the Western New York Trial Lawyers Association and The Defense Trial Lawyers Association of Western New York, an ad hoc committee on calendar practice was formed to consider some of the issues raised at that meeting. As we look ahead to the new millennium and our twentieth year, we find cause to celebrate.
Anniversaries are a time to take satisfaction in past accomplishments and to plan for the future.
We are also fortunate that two of our members' spouses have agreed to assist with this event, Mrs. Ernestine Green and Mrs. Janet Gorski. Look for more information on our Anniversary Gala in future editions of the Bar Bulletin .
