To All:
  I am looking forward to a challenging year leading the Criminal Justice Section.  Currently, the section is seeking to diversify membership on the Executive Board by obtaining  representation from federal criminal justice practitioners.  We are expanding the number of  continuing legal education events sponsored by the section and look forward to serving the criminal justice community with topical information designed to improve practice.
   Last year, the Criminal Justice Section greatly expanded its membership base and I am excited to work with our many new members.  I am fortunate to continue to work with the dedicated continuing core of members on the Executive Board.  It is going to be a great year that will culiminate in the section honoring those in the our legal community who have excelled in the criminal justice system.  It will be a great year!  Lydia Bodin, Criminal Justice Section Chair.
