A few words (and tunes!) from your new VTLA President, Craig Davis:

As we now collectively emerge from our own modern day version of the late unpleasantness, I wanted to share a playlist of songs I put together to lift your spirits and, just maybe, inspire you to go “furthur!” The playlist hopefully has something for everyone as it veers across genres and contains songs by artists both well-known and obscure. Thematically, the songs loosely center on concepts of emergence, revitalization, resilience in the face of adversity and optimism. And sure, there are some overt and sly references to our chosen profession. Still, some songs are included for no other reason than they get my blood pumping.

Welcome to the newest Law Letter! This electronic version of Law Letter is VTLA's latest newsletter. Law Letter was established in the April 21, 1962, meeting of our Board and has been through numerous revisions until today's. Enjoy learning more each month about what's happening in the world of Virginia's best trial lawyers.

In 2021, VTLA’s Diversity & Inclusion Alliance will, among other things, continue conversations in the vein of last year’s “Tough Talks.” Since May is Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage month in the U.S., we are eager to hear and learn from several members of Asian descent about their legal journey.

May 21-22 / Alexandria or virtual
