MESSAGE
Dear Inn Members:
It seems hard to believe that 2016-2017 marks
the Johnson County Family Law American Inn of Court's fourth
year. The Inn's continiuing dedication to promoting
excellence and civility in the practice of family law is as
inspring now as it was when we had our first organizing
metings. This year we wil continue to work
towards meeting the the goals established buy the
founders of the American Inns of Court: fostering professionalism,
ethics, civility and legal skills. We welcome 11 new
members this year. Our continued growth is a testament to the
hard work and dedication of all members. 2016=2017 will be
another great yera.
We will continue to expand our community
ouutreach with a focus on family and the courts. Mentoring
wil be an ongoing project. Efforts will be made to reach
out to other Inns, particularly family law Inns around the
country. Monthly programs will continue to focus upon
the issues facing the young lawyer practicing family law inKansas
City. We are looking at adding additional short "practice
pointers" and similar conversation starts. Everything we do
will be geared towards fostering excellence, professionalism,
ethics, civility and legal skills in the family law
community. I know that all of the more senior members of the
Inn are and will remain 100% committed to being the resource our
Associates need to continue their growth as excellent family aw
practitioners.
The Executive Committee values feedback from Inn
members so please share your thoughts and ideas. We will have
more meetings in less formal settings. Please consider
briningn guest to our year end social. Last years night at
Pinstripes was very fun and woudl have been even more so with our
spouses and partners. We are more than just our
work. Family and friends make us who we are and deserve to be
appreciated for their contributions to our professional and
personal development.
Please take a few minutes to review the Inn
handbook. Our founding and governing documents and most basic
necessary information can be found in these pages. Please
