LEAD Program at the Capitol

For the third session of the 2013-2014 LEAD Program, our class joined GTLA's Legislative Team at the State Capitol on Tuesday, Feb. 18 to serve as our 'Lawyers of the Day.' The class began the day by hearing from House Speaker David Ralston, who gave them advice on legislative advocacy and told of his own path from the courtroom to the Capitol. The class then went to the Governor's office, where they had the opportunity to take a group picture with Nathan Deal.

After hearing from other guest speakers – including State Senator Charlie Bethel – the LEAD class joined GTLA in the House Judiciary (Civil) Committee for a hearing. They were fortunate to get an up close and personal view of the legislative process and gained a first-hand understanding of what our Legislative Team is working on under the Gold Dome.
