It's Time to Weigh In!

Here is a link to a 4 page summary of the judicial restructuring bill H. 470.

We’ll be using it during the panel discussion today at the Mid Year Meeting. But even if you are not able to attend you should review so that it’s clear what the bill does and, more importantly, what it does not do. Now it’s time to get involved and, on behalf of the VBA Board of Managers, I’m asking you to contact your House member(s) now- this weekend. The bill should be debated on the floor of the House on Tuesday; it’s crucial that your representatives know how you feel about the changes. The VBA has worked long and hard on improving the initial proposal and conveying what our members told us. We think the present version of the bill comes as close to what most asked for that it should pass the House. You can help make that happen. Contact your representatives and urge them to support H. 470. Thank you. And thanks for reading.
