NEW LAWYERS DIVISION
On Sunday, Dec. 22, GTLA's New Lawyers Division spent the day at Children's Healthcare of Atlanta, where they volunteered in the hospital's activity center – The Zone – and made holiday arts & crafts with the children. It made for a great day of service, and our NLD was invited back to volunteer again, which they plan on doing very soon.
A big THANK YOU to all who joined in on this service project. For more information on how you can get involved with the New Lawyers Division, please contact NLD Chair Betty Davis at betty@bettydavislaw.com.     CIVIL JUSTICE PAC
The Civil Justice PAC – the political arm of the Georgia Trial Lawyers Association – is pleased to announce that we have rolled out our new PAC section on GTLA's website.

 Does
the thought of hitting the slopes with your family and fellow GTLA colleagues in
Steamboat Springs appeal to you? If so, the Ski-LE is the seminar for you!
Attendees will enjoy daily breakfast and Après Ski CLE Sessions, and will be
otherwise free for a full day of fun on the mountain, in the spa or whatever
else you may chose. This intimate seminar is great for forming new bonds of
