Incidentally, Joe and Chuck Johnson are making arrangements to have a speaker from the state bar at our next May meeting. More on that in the next newsletter. By the time you read this newsletter, HB214 will be law. HB214 was sponsored by attorney Jim Shockley, R-Victor. The bill adds a fourth judge for Cascade County and a second judge to Ravalli County.
Prospective candidates can use the monthly meetings of the bar association as a sounding board.
Remember, we re all registered voters. That could be a problem. In Schuff v. A.T. Klemens, decided in December, the Supreme Court ruled that when Kevin Meek sought to disqualify the Marra Firm for suing its own client, Kevin was subject to an inquiry by the Commission on Practice for failure to report his concerns. Kevin will present his views on the Schuff case as to the duty to report, and other issues. Those in attendance will receive hour CLE credit.
