The American Board of Trial Advocates (ABOTA) welcomed Chief Judge Carol-Lisa Phillips to her new position with a monogrammed hangar and drinking cup. Judge Phillips took over as Chief Judge on May 1st, in the wake of Chief Judge Jack Tuter’s retirement after nearly 20 years on the bench, eight as Chief Judge. On hand to present the swag were three of the ABOTA’s heavy hitters: Jordan Kirby, ABOTA membership chair; Braulio Rosa, ABOTA executive director; and Miles McGrane IV, ABOTA’s president-elect (pictured left to right). And of course, Judge Phillips. Thank you ABOTA for the warm welcome!
