OTLA Sidebar September 2020

11 • SIDEBAR • September 2020 Thank You to Our Generous 2020 Convention Sponsors! This year, OTLA members really stepped it up with their willingness to sponsor the first annual Zoomvention. Not only did the fully online event go off with nary a hitch and with much excitement, but a huge number of new lawyers and law students were able to attend, many of whom received scholarships for their tuition cost. We could not do this or the rest of our annual Convention without our sponsors—so without further ado, OTLA thanks the following members and partners who sponsored this year’s event: $2000+ Convention Patrons Alvey Law Group | Barton Trial Attorneys | Law Office of Robert Beatty-Walters | Patrick Block Law | Bowersox Law Firm | Cauble Selvig & Whittington | Chenoweth Law Group | Corson & Johnson Law | D’Amore Law Group | Keith Dozier | Dwyer Williams Cherkoss Attorneys | The Gatti Firm | Carol Hepburn / J.

They are Partners with us, year after year, because they believe wholeheartedly in access to justice and your practices and clients. If you have not yet worked with our Annual Partners, please consider giving them your business to keep them and OTLA stronger, together. they followed along with a trained chef live. The Women’s Caucus members enjoyed an awesome wine and paint class, while the Minority Caucus hosted a raucous, if slightly off-key karaoke jam session to finish out the week. And we couldn’t leave out the kids! What’s Convention without the magical Candyland?! Our OTLA kids got the surprise of the summer when hand-packed boxes of candy and treats arrived in the mail just in time for virtual Kids Klub activities to begin. We hope you enjoyed the first ever ZOOMVENTION continued from page 10 OTLA Zoomvention as much as we enjoyed bringing it to you. You can purchase the full set of CLE recordings online HERE if you weren’t able to attend and if you attended Convention but missed a session or two, those recordings are available to you at no extra cost on top of your registration fee. On the fence about buying the recordings? Don’t let us be the only voice. Here’s what members had to say about the 2020 Zoomvention: “Mark [Mandell] is perhaps the best lawyer/ teacher I have ever heard and he gets better every time I go to one of his presentations. His ability to coax the essence of the case and presenting plan is top shelf.” “Both Jane [Paulson] and Charla [Aldous] gave the best CLE I’ve heard in a long time!” “I missed the fellowship with other attorneys and the dinners and social events, but so far as legal education was concerned, this was one of the best Annual Conventions ever.” On the COVID-19 Panel: “This was fantastic, frightening, courageous, and wildly informative. Loved this.” On Convention as a whole: “Invaluable. Priceless.”
