Council Notes (The Section's Newsletter)

Published quarterly, this newsletter is concerned primarily with current items and issues of general interest. Each member of the Section receives one free copy of each issue of Council Notes. Generally the content covers the following:

  • Legal Articles: Articles on substantive legal topics of broad interest. Sometimes, these articles deal with specific areas of law which are worthy of special treatment or not generally well covered elsewhere.
  • Feature Articles: Feature articles cover a variety of topics not on substantive law. Section programs and projects, as well as legal service available to Section members are often highlighted in these columns.
  • Specialty Columns: These columns are generally more technical and detailed, and the focus is usually on informing the reader of problems and solutions, new laws or new problems with the existing laws.
  • Miscellaneous: Other material appearing in Council Notes include short notices and announcements.

Editors: Merry Balson (303-825-0800) mbalson@bw-legal.com and Julia McVey (303-238-1707) jmcvey@ebischmcvey.com, and Richard Vincent (303-770-0673) (for Elder Law inserts)
