OTLA Sidebar May/June 2020

10 • SIDEBAR • May–June 2020 — especially since this is the first time many of us have spent spending the majority of our time working from out- side our physical offices. The month of May also saw, among others, the ‘Zoom Mediations from A-Z’ Emerging Topic CLE as presented by Annual Partner Joshua Cohen of Fat Pencil Studios, Mike Saltman of Resolute Systems, Guardians Cynthia Newton and Shangar Meman , and a mediator’s perspective from Judge Karsten Ras- mussen . All of these great presenta- tions were recorded and are available for download on the OTLA website at www.oregontriallawyers.org. With these supplementary CLEs in addition to OTLA’s busy spring educa- tion schedule, the calendar has been packed! With even more section meet- ings held than usual, folks have still found the time to show up in droves to learn from and discuss with their col- leagues in true OTLA fashion. In fact, members have even found time for virtual social calls! From our Trivia series (thank you to Graham Brown from Stumptown Trivia for hosting three excellent trivia nights!) to Zoom happy hours, members have showed up to socialize with one another — almost as if they’ve been desperate for interaction outside of quarantine! Who would’ve thought? Don’t miss more upcoming events like these. Check out our calendar and watch the listservs for notices of CLEs and socials. We’re here to help and we hope to keep you entertained and informed as we navigate these times. Please reach out with any questions about OTLA’s programming to Astrid at astrid@oregontriallawyers.org. EVENTS continued from page 9 Legal trivia via Zoom was a hit! Members enjoyed quick questions from Graham Brown of Stumptown Trivia.
