Courthouse Lounge Renovated
Eric Richardson and I have been working diligently since last year in refreshing the appearance of the Greensboro Lawyers Lounge. We purchased new furniture, office equipment, coffee supplies and accessories with budgeted funds from the Greensboro Bar Association and donations from the Guilford County Association of Black Lawyers and Attorney Tom Maddox.
On September 3, 2019, we celebrated the opening of the newly renovated space which coincided with Attorney Kearns Davis hosting a court visit consisting of a small delegation of leaders from the Port-au-Prince Bar Association in Haiti. We welcomed President Stanley Gaston and Board Member Jacques Miguel Sanon. Light refreshments were served courtesy of Brooks, Pierce, McLendon, Humphrey & Leonard, LLP.
Please stop by and enjoy the Lounge when you are in the courthouse.

Life is a Marathon for David Meschan
by Nicole Patino, Law Offices of Fred T. Hamlet
It is not uncommon to see individuals running in downtown Greensboro; however, it is rare to see a runner with the dedication of David Meschan, a bankruptcy attorney with the Law Offices of David F. Meschan. Mr. Meschan's regular routine includes running approximately 15-20 miles per week.
When he isn't running, Mr. Meschan likes to play tennis with a group of friends, a sport he has always played. While at Davidson College, he played competitively as a junior and was on the varsity team his senior year.
However, it wasn't until around 1990 that Mr. Meschan began to consider other forms of physical exercise. It was then that he realized that some form of regular aerobic exercise was needed to be healthy and, because of his interests and skills, he decided running was the most logical choice. Ever the lawyer, he became an expert in running and can tutor one on the best running gear, training techniques, and even the best times to run.
Mr. Meschan turned 75 this year. He continues to run competitively. Recently, he ran the 50th Annual Peachtree 10K in Atlanta. He also has won his division in races, including the 2015 Tar Heel 10 Miler in Chapel Hill. Mr. Meschan says that there are running races going on all the time and it is easy to find one if you are interested.
Mr. Meschan uses the results from his competitive runs to monitor his fitness level. He notes that running keeps his weight under control, makes him more effective at work by sustaining his focus and helping him stay better organized, and that his primary care physician tells him that running helps with all his vital signs.
Law may sometimes feel like a marathon, but Mr. Meschan is taking control of this race.
Do you or someone you know have a fun way to stay healthy? If so, please email Karen McKeithen Schaede at kschaede@connorsmorgan.com or Nicole Patino at lpatino@vt.edu for a chance to be featured in our new Wellness Corner.

Stell: Next Generation Leadership
Camille Stell
is President and CEO of Lawyers Mutual Consulting & Services. Continue this conversation by contacting Camille at camille@lawyersmutualnc.com or 800.662.8843.
What does law firm leadership look like?
Too often, it's an outdated model where reward goes to the most senior, regardless of contribution. Where leaders look for perks rather than developing servant leadership concepts. Firm partners hold tightly to decision making and there are clear lines of distinction between partners and associates, lawyers and all others.
There is no discussion about the future of the firm or really much discussion about anything strategic.
As a result, many law firms end up being one generation firms. When the current firm owner retires, the firm will cease to exist. This keeps everyone in the firm unsettled. While they may be content today, they don't know what tomorrow brings.
The practice operates under the status quo: we know our clients, we know what they want, and we aren't worried about them leaving.
However, this client view doesn't always fit with reality. Client surveys consistently show clients are not satisfied with their law firms and, when a better opportunity comes along, they will leave.
So, what can you do to exhibit leadership that will make your firm more profitable? Here are a few suggestions:
Agility. Law firms love committees. And task forces. And blue-ribbon study groups. And consensus building. And debating. What law firms do not love is decision making. Or to change direction. Or to improvise. Yet modern law firm leaders need to think quickly, analyze the current situation, and even change course in response to a rapidly changing environment. Practice experimentation in your firm. Learn more about the tech world philosophy of "fail fast" where you decide, evaluate your results, and adjust accordingly.
Collaboration. Lawyers are often, by nature, individualists. Law school further intensifies this characteristic. Much of law school and early career is about surviving competition. When lawyers arrive at traditional firms where there are even more distinctions between groups of people, the concept is reinforced.
Except the current generation of employees doesn't necessarily buy into this concept of competition and working as an island. Modern employees, lawyers, and clients are more responsive to collaboration. Today, information is open and accessible. The barriers that lawyers could build because they were the only ones with access to legal knowledge are being broken down. Studies show time and again that diversity makes for better results whether it is diverse perspectives, diversity of people, or diversity of experience. Working together in diverse groups will build stronger law firms.
Growth mindset. Dr. Carole Dweck is a psychology researcher who has studied and written about the benefit of a growth mindset. In her book, Mindset: The New Psychology of Success, Dr. Dweck says that an individual who embraces lifelong learning has an advantage over those whose viewpoints remain fixed.
Lawyers should find a natural advantage here as lawyers are required to be lifelong learners by the very nature of their chosen careers (and those pesky mandatory CLE requirements). However, most of the learning is focused on the substantive law side of education rather than learning skill sets outside of law. By slightly shifting your focus: add a few business books to your reading list, include an entrepreneurial podcast on your playlist, or attend a conference on a topic that's new to you, you'll be exhibiting the very characteristics that Dr. Dweck cites as imperative to next generation leaders.
Accountability. People often perform best when others are holding them accountable. My goal is to show up at the gym every morning. I'm more likely to do it when I'm meeting an accountability partner or reporting my progress to someone. How does this relate to leadership in law firms? Few firms create strategy or plans with specific action items or hold people accountable for meeting goals. We often fail to set our expectations for our firm members. My experience with employee evaluations is that time and time again, we talk with employees about their same failures, yet we don't provide the resources to improve the situation, allocate time necessary to make improvement or have conversations throughout the year about why the improvement is important in helping the law firm reach its goals.
Modern law firm leaders realize that by establishing strategy and goals, firm members know where they are headed. By establishing a clear roadmap of the strategy and tasks needed to reach the goal, providing the necessary tools, and establishing ownership of projects by team members, and checking in regularly to see how people are doing, you'll find individuals moving forward to meet strategic goals.
Next generation leaders need to master new skill sets. Are you improving your own leadership skills? Mentoring and developing skills of others in your office? The future of your firm depends on it.

Message from the President, October 2019
October 1, 2019 /in Newsletter, October 2019 /by Greensboro Newsletter
Eric A. Richardson
President, Greensboro Bar Association
MEMPHIS, The Musical. WOW! Last month, the Greensboro Bar Association along with the Guilford County Association of Black Lawyers came together at the Community Theater of Greensboro for a membership outing of singing, dancing and good old-fashioned fun. Greensboro is home to such tremendous artistic talent. And that talent brought the audience back in time to 1950's Memphis where laws, society and everyday human beings came face to face with deep seated prejudice and injustice. These reminders of our past were both emotional and thought provoking.
While watching this performance, I couldn't help considering what a middle-aged attorney (like me) would be doing in the 1950s. Would I be aware of the weight of prejudice? Would I quietly go about my business letting others do the heavy lifting of reform? Could the Greensboro Bar Association even participate in an event with the Guilford County Association of Black lawyers? What friends (that I have today) would I likely not have had back then? What relationships would be frowned upon, ridiculed or just forbidden? Thank you, Community Theater of Greensboro, for using the arts, the talented performers of Memphis and our country's difficult past to remind us that social justice is an ongoing journey, an evolving struggle and an essential destination of a healthy society.
As lawyers, we play a critical role in the journey of social justice. We are both participants in and creators of social justice.
So, as we enjoy our 90th year as a bar association, it is important to take stock of our past. To be mindful of where we have been so that we can be deliberate about where we are going. I hope each of us will consider our history in deciding the role we will play in our legal community's future. As lawyers, we play a critical role in the journey of social justice. We are both participants in and creators of social justice. Walk into our courtrooms, read appellate decisions, and attend bar events to witness it in action. Pick up a newspaper or turn on the news and hear about an innocence project's latest exonerated citizen. One way or another we will leave a legacy for our successors.
During the month of October, we will present more events and opportunities for members to connect, network, and earn CLE credit. On October 4, Lisa Arthur and her CLE committee will host a full-day CLE focusing on the opioid crisis at Fox Rothschild. For just $25.00, GBA members can have lunch and earn 6 CLE credits while watching a program simulcast from the State Bar. Thank you, Steve Robertson, for bringing this idea to our CLE committee's attention. Next, our monthly membership meeting will celebrate several of our members followed by an Elon Law update by Dean Luke Bierman on October 17 at Starmount Forest Country Club. On October 25 at 3:00 pm in the Federal Courthouse, our Young Lawyers Section will assist our newest lawyers with a swearing-in ceremony. And, finally, our bar will come together on October 23 with our colleagues from High Point to nominate candidates to fill the District Court judicial vacancy left by Judge Jarrell's passing, along with the Guilford County Public Defender vacancy created by Fred Lind's upcoming retirement.
These are just a few of the happenings in October. Glance through this newsletter to find even more of what we have in store for the membership. Also, please consider helping on a committee. It is a great way to get involved with the GBA while developing your leadership skills. Anyone interested in learning more about the Greensboro Bar Association's committee opportunities can call me or Diane Lowe at the GBA office. On behalf of my hard-working Board of Directors, we truly hope you will consider joining our team and attending one or more of these GBA events
in October.

Too Liberal For Cato?
by Chris Bodenner
Weigel wonders why Brink Lindsey and Will Wilkinson are both suddenly leaving the libertarian think tank:
[Y]ou have to struggle not to see a political context to this. Lindsey and Wilkinson are among the Cato scholars who most often find common cause with liberals. In 2006, after the GOP lost Congress, Lindsey coined the term "Liberaltarians" to suggest that Libertarians and liberals could work together outside of the conservative movement. Shortly after this, he launched a dinner series where liberals and Libertarians met to discuss big ideas. (Disclosure: I attended some of these dinners.) In 2009 and 2010, as the libertarian movement moved back into the right's fold, Lindsey remained iconoclasticjust last month he penned a rare, biting criticism of The Battle, a book by AEI President Arthur Brooks which argues that economic theory is at the center of a new American culture war.
Did any of this play a role in the departure of Lindsey and Wilkinson? I've asked Lindsey and Wilkinson, and Wilkinson has declined to talk about it, which makes perfect sense. But I'm noticing Libertarians on Twitter starting to deride this move and intimate that Cato is enforcing a sort of orthodoxy. (The title of Wilkinson's kiss-off post, "The Liberaltarian Diaspora," certainly hints at something.)
With Lindsey and Wilkinson out, perhaps there's a chance for Nick Newcomen, the Rand fan who drove 12,000 miles with GPS tracking "pen" to scrawl the message above? If nothing else, his ideological chops are unassailable.


BURLINGTON--A sneak peek of a powerful new PBS documentary, The Raising of America: Early Childhood and the Future of Our Nation, will be shared in ten Vermont locations during the last two weeks of October. On October 30 at the Middlebury College Twilight Auditorium (30 College St.) from 5:30 - 7:30 pm, Addison County residents will have the opportunity to see the documentary sneak peek and participate in the local community conversation.
Due to be released by PBS next spring, The Raising of America takes an in-depth look at how a strong start for all children leads to greater individual success and a more prosperous and equitable society. The sneak peek will be followed by a community discussion or "local take" on this national issue. These local conversations will be led by business leaders, pediatricians, early childhood professionals and parents from the community.
"Science tells us that the earliest years are the most critical to our children's future success, and research has shown that many Vermonters don't realize this," said Robyn Freedner-Maguire, director of the Let's Grow Kids campaign. "We are sharing the sneak peek of this documentary to jumpstart conversations in communities across the state about how we can better support a strong start for all Vermont children."
In Vermont, 40 to 50 percent of our children are not prepared for kindergarten when they arrive. Thirty-two percent of our third graders are reading below grade level. And, 72% of Vermont's children under the age of six have all parents in the workforce, which means they are likely spending up to 40 hours per week in someone else's care.
These "Raising of America Sneak Peek & Conversations," sponsored by Let's Grow Kids and 17 other Vermont organizations and government agencies, are free and open to the public.

Whether it is necessary to give copy of written arguments to Opposite party ?
Tilak Marg Forum for Legal Questions › Forums › Consumer Laws › Whether it is necessary to give copy of written arguments to Opposite party ?
This topic contains 1 reply, has 2 voices, and was last updated by Dr. Ashok Dhamija 11 months, 2 weeks ago.
A copy of such written arguments shall be simultaneously furnished to the opposite party in The District Consumer Forum.
Section 12 in The Code Of Civil Procedure (Amendment) Act, 2002 12.
Amendment of Order XVIII.- In the First Schedule, in Order XVIII,- (a) in rule 2, after sub- rule (3), the following sub- rules shall be inserted, namely:-" (3A) Any party may address oral arguments in a case, and shall, before he concludes the oral arguments, if any, submit if the Court so permits concisely and under distinct headings written arguments in support of his case to the Court and such written a guments shall form part of the record.
(3B) A copy of such written arguments shall be simultaneously furnished to the opposite party.
Does it make necessary for the Complainant to furnish a copy of the written arguments to the Opposite Party? If I supply the same, wont the Opposite Party counter argue as per written arguments provided by me?
Is it essential that I provide "WRITTEN ARUGUMENTS" copy to the opposite party?
I have spoke to advocates locally, they told as it is the argument you make in writing, it should be given only to the court and not to the opposite party.
So I am posting this query. To know whether to give copy to opposite party or not. If I am not giving what shall I tell to the President of the Consumer Forum? As the dispute is before the District Consumer Forum.
Any help in this regard will be very much appreciated.
Every party in a matter before the court has a right to get copies of the documents, evidence, arguments, etc., filed by other / opposite parties. There are a very few exceptions to this rule (such as when the investigation report of an undergoing case is submitted in a sealed envelope to the court by police). It is the basic principle of natural justice.
Secondly, the opposite party has the right to counter your arguments. You cannot expect to argue a case behind the back of the opposite party. It is in the best interests of every party that all parties are given opportunity to explain all issues in the case.
Therefore, if you are submitting any written arguments, then you are expected to give a copy to the opposite party so that it gets a chance to refute your arguments. You will also get a similar right to get copy of written arguments of your opposite party.
As the provision mentioned by you itself makes it clear, it is not necessary for you to give written arguments and you can make only oral arguments (but, here again, the opposite party has the right to listen to your oral arguments and reply to them).
"2. Statement and production of evidence.— (1) On the day fixed for the hearing of the suit or on any other day to which the hearing is adjourned, the party having the right to begin shall state his case and produce his evidence in support of the issues which he is bound to prove.
(2) The other party shall then state his case and produce his evidence (if any) and may then address the Court generally on the whole case.
(3) The party beginning may then reply generally on the whole case.
(3-A) Any party may address oral arguments in a case, and shall, before he concludes the oral arguments, if any, submit if the Court so permits concisely and under distinct headings written arguments in support of his case to the Court and such written arguments shall form part of the record.
(3-B) A copy of such written arguments shall be simultaneously furnished to the opposite party.
(3-C) No adjournment shall be granted for the purpose of filing the written arguments unless the Court, for reasons to be recorded in writing, considers it necessary to grant such adjournment.
Is certified copy taken itself from photocopy admissible as secondary evidence?


Home > So...What's the Best Time of Year to Catch Fish in Hawaii?
Well this is the question every angler wants to know. As usual, as every fisherman will tell you, your fishing 'juju' always depends on the 'day' and yes, 'luck', 'karma' and 'having your good deeds rewarded'. These all play into the mix of how things turn out at the end of the day. But fishing is a science as well as a skill and knowing the cycles of fish in Hawaii waters is ultimately going to help you with your catch.
Let's start with this: as an overall rule, summer months are generally the best months for fishing. If you have your heart set on a 1000 pounder, this is the likely time of year you will snag the most coveted catch in Hawaii, the Pacific Blue Marlin. A greater likelihood will be the Ahi or Yellowfin Tuna and Hawaii waters are ripe with catches well over 75 lbs. The other popular fish you will find being freshly served at the local restaurants which also run strong during this season are the Mahi Mahi and the Ono.
Don't feel too slighted if you arrive in the islands in the fall months as all varieties of Marlin are still plentiful in Hawaiian waters and to a lesser degree, Mahi Mahi and Ahi are still plentiful as well.
Don't forget that, although you won't be pulling any in with your rod and reel, the winter and early spring months are laden with copious quantities of the Humpback Whales and you will forever be blessed by spending some joyful hours in the waters side by side with these 'gentle giants'.

Snow continues to blanket the Sierra Nevada and the foothills, shutting down schools Tuesday, making travel treacherous, and offering the promise of irrigation water for Valley farmers.
The National Weather Service in Hanford says this latest series of winter storms had produced 5 to 6 feet of Sierra snow in five days through Monday.
In addition, much of the Sierra now has snow depths of more than 100 inches.
Hail fell Tuesday in and around Fresno and was captured on video by GV Wire's Jamie Ouverson and on social media.
Shortly before 1 p.m. Tuesday, the NWS issued a winter storm warning for the Sierra from Yosemite to Kings Canyon and the Tulare County mountains. The warning covered the communities of Camp Nelson, Giant Forest, Lodgepole, and Johnsondale.
Predictions call for up to 4 more feet of snow with winds gusting up to 70 mph along the Sierra crest.
The NWS also issued a winter storm advisory at 12:57 p.m. Tuesday for portions of the San Joaquin Valley. Up to 3 inches of snow was expected, as was the possibility of black ice at elevations above 1,500 feet.
Both advisories are in effect until 4 p.m. today.
Meanwhile, The Fresno Bee reported that snow closed some schools and roads in the Madera County foothills Tuesday. And Associated Press reported that all roads in Yosemite National Park were closed.
These latest snow-packed storms have pushed the Sierra snowpack above 100% of its seasonal average.
Wednesday's forecast calls for precipitation to end in Fresno with temperatures dropping to an overnight low of 30 degrees. There's a chance rain could return to Fresno on Friday.
Snow in San Francisco? You Bet.

Each 45g serving provides 1g of beta-glucan soluble fibre, one third of the suggested daily intake of 3g. High cholesterol is a risk factor in the development of coronary heart disease. Coronary heart disease has multiple risk factors and altering one of these risk factors may or may not have a beneficial effect.

So we have finished our 200 metre long layed old hedge – down by the ponds, and now we are beginning to look after the new but far longer hedge which we planted three years ago. Some of the little hedge plants (whips) have not survived and some are swathed in weeds, others have done well and so need a bit of pruning. Tomorrow, Sunday the 28th of February we begin up at the very beginning – by the corner of Brockwell Park Gardens and the Cressingham estate. I remember when we planted the first few whips in 2013. It was a freezing day in February and we were organised by Richard Jedrzejczack of The Trust Conservation Volunteers. We got a mug of tea at 11am! with biscuits! It seems a long time ago. So now we must give it some TLC. First we will dig holes for the new whips, which are the same age as the ones we planted in 2013. We were lucky enough to be given these by the London Wildlife Trust last week. Then we add some compost and the whips, then firm up the soil around them. We hope to get as far as the first Cressingham Gate and will be planting about 30 whips. If we achieve this we can prune and tidy as we go and then mulch the whole section with bark chippings. This will keep the weeds down and provide compost to give the new hedge a boost. We have tweeted for volunteers so maybe we will see you there. If not we'll put picture on this site.

"A (…) challenge for me is to make these executives realize that life is not all about the symbols of power and position; it's not all about money. How can I make them discover that how they spend their time is more important than how they spend their money? They've to realize that status is an elusive entity, popularity and accident, wealth very fickle, and that only character endures. I try to point out to them that material things are not the most important things in life. What is truly important has to do with meaningful relationships, making a difference, and creating meaning. The great use of life is to spend it on something that will outlast us. What example do they want to set for others?"

Reaction Engines secures £26.5m investment from new industrial and financial investors
- New strategic investments from Boeing and Rolls-Royce, additional investment from BAE Systems
- Financial investments from Baillie Gifford Asset Management and Woodford Investment Management
12 April 2018 – Reaction Engines Limited ('Reaction Engines') today announced that it has raised a further £26.5 million in a strategic fundraising by securing backing from some of the most influential names in aerospace and finance which will support its development of SABRE™ - a revolutionary new class of aerospace engine combining jet and rocket technologies.
New strategic investors are Boeing HorizonX Ventures, the investment arm of Boeing, the world's largest aerospace company and leading manufacturer of commercial jetliners and defence, space and security systems; and Rolls-Royce, a pre-eminent engineering company focused on world class power and propulsion systems whose experience and capability in building complex engine systems is well known.
These new investors are in addition to BAE Systems, a global defence, aerospace and security company, which invested £20.6 million in Reaction Engines in 2015 and is providing further investment in this round, building on existing collaboration to provide expertise in engineering and programmes.
Financial investments in Reaction Engines will also be made by Baillie Gifford Asset Management and Woodford Investment Management.
The Company anticipates further investment interest in this funding round from existing shareholders and other financial institutions. All investments will take the form of a subscription for new shares, which is subject to the approval of existing shareholders.
Mark Thomas, Chief Executive of Reaction Engines said:
"This is a significant milestone for Reaction Engines and I am delighted to welcome our new strategic and financial shareholders. In addition to providing our largest round of private investment, these new partners bring invaluable expertise in both hypersonics and engine technologies with significant access to target markets. This is not only a vote of confidence in our technology but also underlines belief in our ability to develop a thriving commercial business which will provide strong financial returns for our shareholders."
Steve Nordlund, Vice President of Boeing HorizonX said:
"We continue to connect capabilities around the globe with our investment in Reaction Engines, which is our first in a UK-based company. As Reaction Engines unlocks advanced propulsion that could change the future of air and space travel, we expect to leverage their revolutionary technology to support Boeing's pursuit of hypersonic flight."
Paul Stein, Chief Technology Officer of Rolls-Royce said:
"We are delighted to become a strategic investor in Reaction Engines Limited, an innovative UK company that is helping push the boundaries of aviation technology. We look forward to working with REL and assisting with the development of their technology, and we plan to incorporate this technology into our own future products."
Sam Gyimah, Minister of State for Universities, Science, Research and Innovation, said:
"These investments are a real vote of confidence in Reaction Engines and its revolutionary SABRE engine, which has benefited from £60m in UK Government support. Boeing and Rolls-Royce will bring world-class expertise to the project ahead of its testing at Westcott, alongside the new National Space Propulsion Facility. "This is an exciting time as the UK's commercial space industry goes from strength to strength, boosting the economy and creating high-skilled jobs across the country. Through our ambitious Industrial Strategy, we are working with the sector to pursue new opportunities, develop technologies and infrastructure, and enable small satellite launch and sub-orbital flight from UK spaceports for the first time."
The investments agreed to date take the total raised by Reaction Engines in the last three years to over £100 million, including British Government funding commitments, and will support key elements of the company's SABRE development programme, which has the objective of commencing ground-based testing of a SABRE engine core in 2020.
Reaction Engines has recently achieved a number of milestones for the development of SABRE, and is on track for the test of the engine core in 2020. It is currently constructing a new facility in Westcott, Buckinghamshire, UK for SABRE testing.
The fundraising will also allow Reaction Engines to accelerate its commercialisation plans, with proprietary technology opportunities in motorsport, electric vehicle thermal management, waste heat recuperation, small satellite cooling and aero-engines.
The Company has continued to grow its presence in the United States and recently secured a contract from the U.S. Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) to conduct high-temperature airflow testing of a Reaction Engines precooler heat exchanger. These tests will demonstrate the Company's world-leading heat exchanger technology, contributing to a rapid leap forward in precooled propulsion, for both jet and combined cycle engines, as well as opening exciting possibilities for novel vehicle thermal management solutions.
