Chairs: Heather Quick and D. Rodney Brown
Goals for the year: To plan, implement and coordinate programs for better relations between the Bench and Bar, including the Judges Sidebar Luncheon and the biannual judicial evaluations administered by The Jacksonville Bar Association. Also, we will provide information to the public to ease court access.
How to get involved: Attend a Judicial Relations Committee meeting, visit jaxbar.org/committees/ or contact [email protected] or [email protected].
Chairs: Jana Kolarik Anderson and Beverly Pascoe
Goals for the year: Our goals are to provide educational and networking opportunities for the local health law Bar. Health lawyers advise on “traditional” compliance questions, transactions, government enforcement activity and other health care-related litigation. Health law is evolving and government audits and enforcement have increased, so providing a forum to stay informed is valuable.
How to get involved: Contact Jana Anderson at Foley & Lardner LLP.
Chairs: Matt Hinson and Rick Britton
Goals for the year: To continue building resources and opportunities for solo practitioners and small firms to efficiently and effectively administer their law practices.
