FEBRUARY, 2015 1

In early January, I spoke at the Young Lawyers Section Annual Meeting regarding what to expect in

2015. My remarks highlighted two themes. First, as a member organization that operates largely through committees, the DCBA needs the participation of members with a variety of experience levels.

Second, I encouraged the Young Lawyers to attend the upcoming social events, including the Bench Bar in late July.

Our time is a precious and limited asset. An hour that we spend at a DCBA meeting or event is an hour that we are taking away from our work, our families or the other activities that sustain our lives. With

so many other priorities, organizations and causes, why devote time to the DCBA?

My involvement in the DCBA started very early in my career. I started by attending the Thursday evening Happy Hours at the Bar Association. As someone who was new to the legal profession and

new to Harrisburg, the DCBA social events were an opportunity to meet people. Some of those people would become future business contacts (referrals to and from), some would serve as informal men-

tors, some would become good friends, and some would be sounding boards and sympathetic ears regarding work-related gripes. After all, every lawyer has a horror story about the discovery pro-

cess, the opposing counsel who won't return phone calls, etc.

The members that I met encouraged me to get involved. My participation in DCBA committees and

sections taught me different skills. I joined the CLE Committee to have low-stress opportunities to work on my public speaking skills by introducing the speakers. Serving as Volleyball Czar and then

Young Lawyers Section Chair taught me valuable lessons about organization, working with groups, dealing with semi-crisis situations (e.g., beer keg failures and bad weather), and leadership. Finally,

working on various public service projects organized through the DCBA over the years, such as the Peoples' Law School, the Custody Clinic, and the Law Explorers program, showed me the intangible

benefits of giving back to the community and to the profession.

I can't guarantee that everyone will get the same benefits that I did from being active in the Bar Asso-ciation; however, I can guarantee that there are a variety of ways to get involved throughout the

year—Law Day, pro bono cases, Veterans Disability Claims Lawyer Referral Program, the St. Patty's

Day party, substantive sections, Social Committee, Young Lawyers Section, Senior Lawyers Section, volleyball. The list goes on and on.

Did I mention that we have a Bench Bar Conference this year?

YOUNG LAWYERS ANNUAL MEETING PHOTOS The Young Lawyers Section Annual Meeting occurred on Wednesday, January 7, 2015 at the DCBA. Anthony F. Andrisano, Jr.,

Chair, called the meeting to order at 5:30 p.m. He reported on the activities that the Section sponsored. Mr. Andrisano report-

ed that a new event – Senators Baseball night – held co-jointly with the Lebanon County Bar Association Young Lawyers was a

success and involved an event that young lawyers could bring their families to. Mr. Andrisano thanked all the Section officers

for their service during 2014. Joseph P. Cardinale, Treasurer, reported that the Section is in good financial shape. Anthony M.

Hoover, Social Chair, reported that the Section has great success with volleyball sponsorship this year. After the reports, elec-

tions were held with election of the following officers: Chair-Elect - Amanda A. Batz, Secretary - Joseph P. Cardinale, Treasurer

- Anthony M. Hoover, and Social Chair - Kristen Sinisi. Nicole R. Antos assumed the role of Chair. The guest speaker was DCBA

President-Elect Pamela C. Polacek who urged the young lawyers to get involved not only with Young Lawyer Section activities,

but also with DCBA committees. Ms. Polacek urged young lawyers to attend the upcoming Bench/Bar Conference being held

July 31, August 1, and August 2, at Bedford Springs where there will be many diverse activities with the theme of healthy ways to

manage stress as the practice of law is filled with deadlines. After the guest speaker, Nicole R. Antos, Chair, spoke about starting a new project for 2015 – Bar Buddies, whereby new young lawyers will have the opportunity to acquire a “buddy” to attend DCBA functions with so that a new lawyer is not alone and has the

opportunity to meet other DCBA members. Ms. Antos would also like to involve the section with other county bar young lawyers sections.

DCBA INCUBATOR OFF AND RUNNING!

The DCBA and Widener Law have launched a new partnership whereby three new

lawyers will take up space in the DCBA building and learn the practice of law.

Starting a solo practice is often difficult but Mark Calore, Patrick Daniels and John

Sweet have undertaken this task and will work with Widener Law and MidPenn to

learns the ins and outs of running a small firm.

As a part of this experience, they will each be providing pro bono service to

MidPenn over the course of their time in the Incubator. We are pleased to have

them here and agree this is a win-win for the DCBA and these new attorneys.

DCBA PARTNERSHIP WITH LA TORRE COMMUNICATIONS DCBA is excited to announce its new partnership with La Torre Communications, a Harrisburg based public rela-

tions/public affairs firm. La Torre will use its experience and strategies to help the association and its members

communicate better with the public on the critical issues facing our community. For more information about La

Torre Communications, visit their website: www.latorrecommunications.com or like them on Facebook

GIVE BACK TO THOSE WHO RISK THEIR LIVES FOR US

Veterans, the dedicated men and women who were willing to die in their service to our country, deserve our support and assistance. We hope you will consider one of

these opportunities to give back some of your time and talent to those who have given us so much!

A. Help Homeless Veterans

Last year, nineteen (19) compassionate pro bono attorneys, paralegals and law students assisted Homeless Veterans at the annual Stand

Down at the Harrisburg Military Post Armory.

This year, pro bono attorneys are again needed for the Homeless Veterans Stand Down on Saturday, February 7 from 10 to 5 PM at the Har-

risburg Military Post Armory located at 14 th and Calder Streets, Harrisburg. To date, we only have THREE (3) pro bono names on the list for

this effort.

Can we add YOUR name for a two-hour slot on February 7?

Stand Downs are typically one to three day events providing services to homeless military veterans such as food, shelter, clothing, health screenings, VA and Social

Security benefits counseling, and referrals to a variety of other necessary services, such as housing, employment and substance abuse treatment. They are collabora-

tive events, coordinated between local VAs, other government agencies, and community agencies. For more information go to: http://www.va.gov/homeless/

standdown.asp

Pro bono attorneys, paralegals and law students are needed to staff a Legal Information Table on February 7 during these time slots:

10 to Noon;

Noon to 2 PM; and

2 to 4 PM.

FEBRUARY, 2015

We hope to have four attorneys for each time slot (which ensures that at least 3 will usually be there – as one could have a sick child, etc.).

We will have a table and chairs for the attorneys (and the folks they speak with) to use. We will bring some simple brochures on legal topics (Custody, Expungement,

Landlord/Tenant, etc.). Much of the information is also online via www.PaLawHelp.org, so attorneys could use that on their smart phones. The event could be compared

to “Ask a Lawyer” at Strawberry Square or our Pro Bono Homeless Outreach Project. The attorneys would help point the veterans in the right direction but would not

represent the veterans.

Since it is not a MidPenn Legal Services program, attorneys are not covered by MidPenn’s malpractice insurance. Please contact Sandy Ballard (232-7536 ext. 7 or

sandy@dcba-pa.org) for more information or to sign up.

B. Veterans Disability Appeals

Another way to assist veterans is by helping veterans obtain the disability benefits that they deserve. The DCBA will hold a free training for

members to become certified to accept Veterans Disability Appeals cases on April 23 from 2 to 5:30 pm. at the DCBA. See more information

in box on page 14.

C. Help Vets with Other Legal Issues

The Pennsylvania Bar Association offers another way to use your time and talents to help veterans. Through the PBA Lawyers Saluting Veter-

ans (LSV) Program, pro bono attorneys handle cases in their areas of practice or expertise for Pennsylvania's military veterans, free of

charge. The PBA's Pro Bono Office and Military and Veterans' Affairs Committee are coordinating the program.

After you register for the program, you will receive electronic documents such as an agreement of representation, a pro bono checklist and a termination letter for use

with your veteran pro bono clients. You will receive an official certificate of participation to publicize your involvement in the program.

The PBA offers other resources for interested attorneys, including:

LSV Pro Bono Guidelines

Sample Pro Bono Retainer Letter

Sample Pro Bono Termination Letter

LSV Pro Bono Case Tracking Form Pro Bono Completion Certificate

Registration will require certification of malpractice insurance. Since it is not a MidPenn Legal Services program, attorneys are not covered by MidPenn’s malpractice

insurance. For more information or to register, go to: http://www.pabar.org/public/lsv.asp

D. The Veterans Consortium Pro Bono Program

Finally, a nation-wide pro bono program, the Veterans Consortium Pro Bono Program provides: free

attorneys to veterans and their qualifying family members who have an appeal pending at the U.S.

Court of Appeals for Veterans Claims (Court). The Veterans Consortium recruits and trains volunteer

attorneys to help appellants, free of charge, with their appeals at the Court.

The program screens appeals so that pro bono representation can be provided in meritorious cases, and offers comprehensive training and support to participating

attorneys. Private attorneys with no veterans law experience have demonstrated their ability to capably represent appellants in the Court. Most cases can be completed

in 50 hours.

Before accepting an appeal, all attorneys will have the opportunity to attend a training program conducted by experts in the field. Each participating attorney will also

receive a free copy of the latest version of the Veterans Benefit Manual (in both a bound version as well as CD-ROM with on-line research capability), a comprehensive

guide to litigating veterans benefits claims.

Upon accepting a referral, each attorney will receive a memorandum discussing the facts and legal issues in the appeal, and the name and telephone number of an as-

signed mentor who specializes in this area of the law from one of the sponsoring organizations. Mentors will be available to discuss litigation strategy, provide sample

briefs, review draft pleadings, and conduct a moot court if oral argument is granted. For more information, go to: http://www.vetsprobono.org/

WHERE IS THE LIST?

You may have noticed that we have NOT listed the 2014 Pro Bono Honor Roll of pro bono attorneys, paralegals and law students who will be invited to the annual judges

reception. Does that mean that we had no pro bono participants? Did Sandy accidentally delete the list and all the database records? Don’t the judges want to recog-

nize the wonderful pro bono lawyers this year?

Rest assured, all is well. We have a wonderful list of pro bono attorneys, paralegals and law students which Sandy (luckily) did not delete. And the judges do want to

recognize your service at the annual invitation-only reception. However, due to the scheduling difficulties and uncertain winter weather, we have decided to host the

reception in the spring.

Thus, we are delighted to report that the Annual Pro Bono Reception is scheduled for April 1 from 5 to 7 PM at the DCBA. All the wonderful, dedicated pro bono attor-

neys, paralegals and law students will be listed in the March newsletter and will receive a wonderful invitation from President Judge Richard Lewis to join him and other

members of the bench so they may thank you in person for your pro bono service to the community.
