New lawyers, center, watch as NHBA Communications Department Personnel, Karrie Fesette, left, and Christine Crane, far right, demonstrate the use of the For Members section of the NH Bar Association website. New lawyers at the event- held at the Grappone Center in Concord- were given information about a wide range of NHBA services for attorneys.

The Grappone Center in Concord was the site of the NHBA-CLE department’s Practical Skills Seminar, where many new attorneys - those with five years or less experience in New Hampshire - were greeted with a warm welcome by NHBA-CLE Director Joanne Hinnendael and NHBA Director Jeannine McCoy, who addressed the crowd after lunch.

The event was also an opportunity for new attorneys to become acquainted with the workings of the New Hampshire Bar Association, since many of the NHBA’s departments offered informational booths during the seminar breaks.

New lawyers speak with newly appointed Superior Court Justice Kenneth C. Brown, center left, and NH Supreme Court Justice Richard E. Galway.

"Many in the public cannot afford you," he said. "So I ask of you this: tomorrow morning, call the NHBA Pro Bono department and ask for one case."

This was followed by another welcome by US District Court Justice Stephen McAuliffe and a reception where the judges and attorneys could meet in an informal atmosphere.
