Legal bloggers Mark Herrmann, Pat Lamb and John Wallbillich participated in a CLE panel discussion moderated by COC’s Kathy Erwin on June 25 in Chicago. Approximately 30 people attended the event, which provided a glimpse behind the curtain of the life of a blogger, the pros and cons of blogging, and entertaining stories about their experiences. |
 |
A happy hour followed the CLE and gave everyone a chance to network and catch up with colleagues. The wine and food provided little reason to leave early! |

Approximately 15 people gathered at Dan McGuinness Irish Pub for happy hour on April 23 in Nashville. Despite the long look on Clay’s face, by all accounts he had a good time. |
 |
The Chicago office hosted a CLE on legal writing and the ethics of the use of contract attorneys on April 10. A crowd of 40+ people braved the strong wind, rain and sleet for the program, which featured COC Attorney John Costello and Atlanta Executive Director Dennis McKinnie as speakers. |

A happy hour followed the CLE. Chicago Executive Director Kathy Erwin found time to wind down after her emcee responsibilities during the event. |

COC President & Founder Jane Allen was a nominee for the 2008 Athena Award, which recognizes outstanding contributions to women and is widely considered one of the highest awards of recognition for the achievements of professional women. The award ceremony was held March 27, fittingly at The Parthenon in Nashville, and nine of us came to support Jane. |
 |
The Lawyers’ Association for Women, Marion Griffin Chapter, nominated Jane for the prestigious award. The judging process was lengthy – Jane attended countless meetings and each nominee was asked to present a three-minute speech on how she “inspired women to achieve their greatness.” It was a wonderful event and all enjoyed seeing Joyce Searcy, president/CEO of Bethlehem Centers of Nashville, honored with the Athena statue. |

COC took the Nashville Bar Association’s Race Judicata by storm on Sat., March 1. Approximately 20 of us participated -- the 5k group took a few moments to pose for the Paparazzi. |
|
Claudia (left) and Katherine represented two-thirds of the official COC ‘Race Team’ that competed against other groups … both posted great times, with Claudia winning her age group for the second consecutive year. That certainly deserves a Red Bull or two!. |
|
Lianna (left), Candice (middle) and Marian (pushing young Olivia) kept each other company during the race and enjoyed the great views provided by Percy Warner Park. We lucked out this year – the weather was excellent. Marian’s other daughter, Kelsey, is crossing the finish line also. |
 |
Dianne (right) and Kerry were two of our 10k participants. The course is very hilly and Race Judicata is one of the most difficult running events in Nashville. Hat’s off, ladies! |
