Participate in the Denver Lawyers' Art and Literature Contest!
The Docket and Colorado Lawyers for the Arts are launching an arts contest for members of the Denver Bar Association. Categories include Writing—Fiction, Nonfiction, Poetry, and Humor, and Visual Arts—Painting, Drawing, Sculpture, and Photography. Download this entry form for rules and guidelines. Entries must be received by 5 p.m. on Monday, July 16. Contact Kate Schuster for more information.
The Denver Bar Association's official publication, The Docket, is a 32-page newsletter that is published monthly, except for the combined July/August issue. The Docket is free with your membership.
The Docket Committee meets monthly to brainstorm ideas that would be interesting to membership. It's open to anyone; meetings are very informal. HOWEVER, as much fun as the meetings are, members don't have to come to them to write for The Docket. You are encouraged to send us "letters to the editor" on any subject, or write an opinion piece, or send us ideas for other stories. Our goal is to have a newsletter that's an outlet for prose by Denver attorneys, to have stories about members, to help members gain balance in their lives and also to run articles that would interest our members. We want to include both the serious and satirical. We'd like to have more stories about trends in our legal community.
What we typically run in an issue: Legal Affairs (our most popular column where we put news about attorneys moving around, getting married, having babies, etc.); about Denver lawyers' interesting hobbies and stress relief strategies; movie reviews; sometimes a "bar" review; news about what DBA committees and departments are working on; courtroom assignments for the district and county courts; book reviews; calendar of events; and law practice management articles.
We invite you to participate - we want The Docket to reflect the entire Denver Bar Association membership.
The deadline for feature articles is about five weeks ahead of publication (for the April issue, we would need copy February 25). If you want to send us news on your committee or an event that you are planning, we need that information about a month prior. If you've missed the deadline, PLEASE call us anyway. We will try to squeeze things in at the last minute. We want your news!
