"You Be The Judge” seminar on September 23, 2009 The seminar was very interesting and successful thanks to our distinguished panel (from left to right: Delegate Paula J. Miller, the Honorable John W. Brown, Honorable Michelle J. Atkins, and Honorable Roxie O. Holder). Sheila Costin served as the moderator. The seminar provides lawyers who are interested in becoming judges with an understanding of how the selection process works and helps to put them in a competitive position for a judgeship. The Judicial Reception honored all judges appointed in the Hampton Roads area in 2009. Eleven of the twelve new judges were present as well as many other local judges. The event was open to all attorneys and judges in the area and there were over 100 attendees. We thank all of our sponsors for their support, which made this event such a success.
