A MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT

Congratulations!

As the new president, I am pleased to congratulate the immediate past president, Don Griffith, and all the Desert Bar Association Officers and Board Members for a job well done this past year.

The Association was involved in numerous community outreach, educational, alternative dispute resolution and access to justice programs. We hosted special events for the State Supreme Court, newly appointed local judges, and international legal scholars. Per usual, we held regular meetings where members could receive continuing legal education credits, and social events where we could get to know one another better. All members of the Association should be proud of our collective accomplishments and continued commitment to foster good relations with the bench and community at large.

Although there is a new "Sheriff" in town, I don't plan on changing the traditions of our Association that have helped make our Valley a desirable place to practice law. It is my hope in this coming year that, as officers of the Court, we are faithful to our sworn responsibility to uphold the Constitution of California and of the United States, and that we are diligent in observing our ethical duties to our clients and the Court. By being sensitive to the societal and economic environment in which we practice, contributing to our community, and striving for collegiality in our working relationships, we will all enjoy a much richer practice experience.

Very best personal regards,

Matt Morris
President, Desert Bar Association
