For members who were unable to attend the January, 2018 meeting, please see the attached obituary for our esteemed and beloved colleague, Bob Heiserman.  Members shared their fond and funny memories of Bob, and many paid homage to Bob’s memory by wearing bow ties to the meeting!

In Memoriam – Heiserman

At the meeting, the members unanimously voted to rename our mentorship program The Robert Gifford Heiserman Mentoring Program in tribute to Bob’s extraordinary contributions to mentoring young lawyers both within the Inn and in the legal community at large.

Editor’s Note – We received the following invitation from Doyle Inn of Court Executive Committee Member Randy Bramer.

Colleagues –

I would like to invite you to the first in a series of informal trainings sponsored by the Doyle Inn.  We are applying for 2 CLEs for each session.  There is no charge for attendees.

Our first session will be entitled Writing for the Reader.  Our presenter will be Bob Russel, Appellate Chief of the United States Attorney’s Office.  The session will be held from 4:00 – 6:00 PM on Wednesday October 21, 2015 at the downtown office of Wheeler Trigg O’Donnell LLP, Republic Plaza, 370 17th Street, 45th Floor, Denver, CO 80203.

Materials will be distributed ahead of time so participants will have examples for future use.  I hope this will be an interactive process with participants feeling free to ask questions and contribute experiences. 

Please let me know if any of your Inn members, young lawyers or law clerks may be interested in attending.  Also please have them RSVP to randy.bramer@ogc.usda.gov. I hope these talks will help further the Inns’ purpose of educating and mentoring young lawyers.

Members,

Mentoring is a cornerstone principle of the American Inns of Court.  As part of its dedication to this principle, the Rhone Brackett Inn of Court has established a formal mentoring program that matches up students and young lawyers with more experienced lawyers to serve as professional mentors.  We encourage all members to participate in this program.  The time commitment is as much or as little as each attorney is willing to give to the program.  We have opportunities for long-term mentorship matches as well as opportunities to provide one-on-one mentoring for a particular question or issue.

To participate either as mentor or mentee, please click here to fill out our mentoring intake sheet:
