John Christopher Participates in State Bar Leadership Activities
John P. Christopher, a Partner with the Firm, has been busy fulfilling his role and responsibilities as an officer of the New York State Bar Association (NYSBA), Young Lawyers Section (YLS).
In March, Mr. Christopher attended the YLS Trial Academy Program, held at Cornell Law School. Trial Academy is a five-day program that teaches courtroom skills and trial techniques to young and new lawyers with an emphasis on direct participation. The program is taught by a faculty of over 50 attorneys, comprised of distinguished judges and trial attorneys throughout the State.
On April 1st and 2nd, Mr. Christopher attended the NYSBA House of Delegates (HOD) Meeting in Albany as a Section Delegate from the YLS. The HOD’s agenda included important topics such as the use of social media in jury selection, the need to effectively match attorneys to the right pro bono opportunities, and potential amendments to the New York State Constitution’s Home Rule Law.
We acknowledge Mr. Christopher for his leadership and continued service to the profession through his work with the State Bar.
