Invitation for Public Comment on the Reappointment of U.S.
Dear Fellow Members!
I am writing to you to inform you that Judge Tighe is up for Reappointment. Because of her many wonderful qualities -- both on and off the bench, I am asking you to consider writing a letter in support of her reappointment. The Board of cdcbaa has voted to write a letter on her behalf and I have contacted all of the local bar associations to request that they do the same. It would be great if you would write a letter yourselves. When a Judge is up for reappointment, she/he gets to read all of the letters submitted.
This provides an excellent opportunity for our respective Bar Associations to come together and to give back to the Court.
Thank you Grace and Gaurav for your initial assistance here!
Here is the formal announcement:
Dear Members:
