Message From Your Circuit Governor
Dear 1st Circuit:
I am honored to have been elected your Law Student Division Governor for this coming year. We have consistently had one of the most active and accomplished circuits, and I look forward to continuing that tradition while working hard to expand our membership and increase the availability of ABA resources. To that end, I will be contacting your individual ABA Reps and SBA presidents soon to hear about the concerns and ideas they may have for the ABA and their law schools in the coming year. In addition, I will reach out to your Deans and other administrators in order to extend the offerings and resources of the ABA to your law schools. Nevertheless, I highly appreciate and encourage individual feedback and suggestions from any ABA members in our circuit.
I also wanted to let you know specifically about some ideas that I have for the ABA Law Student Division for this coming year. As you may know, the ABA Law Student Division 1st Circuit has a couple of meetings per year, one in the fall and one in the spring. I am currently working with the other governors to plan the fall meeting and will let you know about its location and schedule as soon as I have that information. Please let me know, however, if you have any suggestions for locations, speakers, agenda, etc. In addition, I am committed to continuing the ABA's public service goals. I have discussed a public service initiative with the Board of Governors that will involve law students from our various law schools educating members of our communities through personal interactions, pamphlets, and presentations about the financial and housing options that exist for our neighbors during these difficult economic times. In addition, I am excited to announce that the Law Student Division has formalized leadership positions to continue to pursue mental health and veterans initiatives, and I plan to work with these liaisons to expand these programs in the 1st Circuit. Finally, I am committed to diversity issues. I heard inspiring stories at the spring meeting about how some schools are conducting their diversity days. I hope that we can share these at the fall meeting.
Thank you for your time and attention,
Pablo Ros
