Santa Claus is coming to....the Bar Association! The Young
Lawyers' Division is bringing back "Phone Calls with Santa".
This event will take place on Wednesday, December 11,
2019, from 5:30pm to 7:30pm, when members of the
Young Lawyers Division will make calls "from Santa" to
children in Bucks County. Bar Association Members and the
general public can sign their children up for a phone call from
Santa through the Bucks County Bar Association website
for a $10.00 donation per child. One Hundred percent of
these funds will go to the Bucks County Opportunity Council,
a group whose mission is to reduce poverty in the Bucks
County area. Please be sure to let your friends, neighbors and
colleagues know about this wonderful charitable fundraiser.
Tis' the season!

Sneak Peak: Looking forward, the YLD is already gearing up
for the annual Mock Trial Competition, which is set to take
place in January and February 2020. Emma Kline, Esq. will
be heading up these efforts as this year's District Coordinator.
With assistance from both the Bench and the Bar, our
District consistently staffs the competition with local judges
and attorneys, giving our students a realistic courtroom
experience. In 2019, Erin Aronson, Esq. coordinated 20 of
these trials, which required volunteered time from 20 judges,
20 jury panels, and 20 bailiffs, all in a span of just 6 weeks.
The YLD is extremely fortunate to have the support of our
Bench and Bar, and looks forward to another successful
competition in 2020! Look out for the Mock Trial Happy
Hour announcement in the coming weeks!

At the same time Santa is calling the children, the YLD, along
with Member Services, will be throwing 2019's last hurrah
at the Bar Association (from 5:30 to 7:30). This event will be
catered by Altomonte's and is free to all BCBA members. Yes
- free food and free drinks. What's more is that the Young
Lawyers have agreed to "bartend" for the evening. Santa
+ free food + free drinks + being catered to by the Young
Lawyers of the BCBA. What more can you ask for?

A special shout-out and thank you to the YLD 2019
