It's not too soon to add the 2022 Convention to your calendar. Save the date!

In our May issue, we gave a shout out to our Judicial Relations Committee for their work in vetting judicial candidates. Just last week, the Virginia General Assembly certified 8 new Court of Appeals judges to usher in a new era of Virginia jurisprudence. In addition, Virginia's senators have made recommendations for an open seat in the Western U.S. District Court. VTLA thanks the members of our judicial relations committee, and VTLA members who worked on committees through other bar groups, for their important roles in the process.

Hot off the press! The 2021-2022 VTLA Directory of Members & Services is ready and will be hitting mailboxes in the next few weeks. Be on the lookout and let us know what you think about this year's edition!

A dynamic team of presenters will lead you through a review of the changes plus a look ahead to 2022. Attend and find out what these mean for your criminal law practice, no matter how big or how small.

This year began with high hopes for an end to the pandemic and the ensuing upheavals. As 2021 comes to a close, many obstacles still remain. What lessons did we learn and are still learning from Covid? What changes do we want to keep and what do we want to return to normal? Join attorneys and judges from all over the Commonwealth for a deep dive into what we have successfully overcome and the hurdles we continue to face. 

Join us in Richmond (or virtually) on September 30 to explore the answers to these and many other questions. Tara Hatcher, Hatcher Baez PLC, has put together a fantastic lineup for you.
