Judge Toni Clarke completed a year of excellent leadership as Chair of the Judicial Division at the ABA Annual Meeting in San Francisco in August. She led us through the challenge of significant budget cuts and into planning for our upcoming year. Among her many accomplishments, she established a Working Group to identify additional non-dues ways to support JD programs. I am very thankful for her great leadership and friendship. I am also honored to serve as your new Chair, with Judge Michelle Childs (NCFTJ) as our Chair-Elect and Chris Browning (LC) as our Vice-Chair. Together with Judge Clarke, the leadership of our conferences and our staff, led by Tori Jo Wible, we look forward to a great year ahead. The JD was busy at the ABA Annual Meeting, conducting 52 meetings and programs over the 5 days of the ABA Annual Meeting. We owe special thanks to Kris Berliant and other wonderful people on our JD staff for making it all work. A few of the programs presented by our conferences at the Annual Meeting were: Due Process Issues Facing the US Immigration Courts (NCALJ); Avoiding a Game of Thrones in the Courtroom: Fostering Civility and Best Practices (STJ); New Media Brings New Challenges: Emerging Challenges in Free-Speech Litigation (CAL); Smoking Out the Issues and Challenges in the Legalization of Cannabis (NCALJ); a diversity outreach and program at UC Hastings College of the Law with members of the JD Standing Committee on Diversity; and outreach with incoming law students at UC Hastings College of the Law (FTJ). We added 11 new Gavel Talks-short podcasts-and soon will have 25 episodes posted on the JD website including Top Ten Tips for Administrative Hearings, One of the Parties Just Filed for Bankruptcy: Now What?, Becoming a Judge and the Federal Nomination Process, and International Legal Careers. We also have the Judicial Ethics Lecture Series on the website, a podcast that discusses issues facing judges. We will continue to post more podcasts throughout the year. The summer 2019 issue of our award-winning Judges' Journal, Judges and The Media, contains excellent articles as always, including those about judges and social media. Many of the articles were written by members of the Judges' Journal Editorial Board. Please make sure to read these articles to keep abreast of current issues facing judges. On the First Monday in October I had the privilege of presenting a motion to admit members of the Lawyers Conference (LC) to the Bar of the United States
