Do you have days when it’s hard to remember the dignity and majesty
of our profession? When you discover that your opposing counsel abhors
the new rules on civility; when you need 10 hours to finish that emergency
project on your desk, but it’s due at Noon today; when your physician tells
you a particularly sinister lawyer joke, just as he’s starting a proctologic
exam: are these times when you wonder whether you should have taken that
job counting coconuts in Maui?
It is easy to get mired in the day-to-day pressures of practice. That
makes it especially important to re-charge your emotional and intellectual
batteries regularly. A convivial meeting with colleagues, or an informative
seminar, works wonders towards reminding us of the many fine aspects of
this profession.
For years, many of your colleagues have found the Computer Law
Section (CLS) an effective forum for recharging those batteries. The CLS
has provided pleasant dinners with colleagues, informative seminars, inter-
esting newsletters (like the one you hold in your hand), and opportunities
to study and exchange ideas in an expanding field. It has offered a way for
busy lawyers to remember why we chose this profession in the first place.
This year, the CLS has been especially active. We have presented a
number of speakers (on UCITA, on interdisciplinary practice, and on raising
venture capital; we’ll also present a panel on Internet Privacy at the Annual
meeting on September 12), put together a theme issue of the Michigan Bar
Journal (publication is later this year), instituted a scholarship program for
computer-related CLE, and awarded the Edward Langs writing award (see
infra). In addition, our many committees have continued to function well,
offering members opportunities to explore their particular interests.
I hope that you have been able to enjoy some of these projects, and
invite you to actively participate in the CLS. If you would like more informa-
tion, or would like to become more active, please contact me, or any other
member of the CLS Council.
