This column is the first of a series of columns which will be published monthly in The Colorado Lawyer by the Corporation Banking and Business Section. In this first column, I would like to take an opportunity to report on the activities which are in progress for 1980 and to solicit responses from members of the Section and other members of the bar who are interested in participating in the various subcommittees and activities of the Section for this year.
The Corporation Banking and Business Law Section of the bar association comprises some 569 members, many of whom have diverse specialty areas of practice and, consequently, the Council of the Section determined this year to organize formally into several subcommittees. The specific subcommittees have been established for general areas of specialty within the Section. Each subcommittee has three primary objectives: (1) to establish communication among lawyers of similar specialty practice, (2) to review potential legislation that may affect a substantive area practice within the subcommittee, and (3) to conduct educational programs on matters affecting the specialty area of the practice.
Some of the subcommittees have been more formally organized in the past than others and, during this year, the Council intends to complete organization of each of the subcommittees and to continue them as operating subcommittees of the Section in the future. In addition, the Section has undertaken several special projects, both of a legislative and educational nature, as a service to its members and to the bar.
The following is a brief description of the current activities of each of the subcommittees and of the special projects undertaken by the Section this year. Each member of the bar who is interested in participating in any of the projects or in joining a subcommittee is urged to contact the persons responsible for each individual area.
This regular column in The Colorado Lawyer will contain topical substantive areas on interest to the Section membership generally and, on alternating months, of special interest to the subcommittee specialty sections. During this next year, articles will appear concerning topical areas of interest in antitrust and trade regulation, bankruptcy, the law of financial institutions, commercial law, securities law, and the law of business entities. It is anticipated that newly proposed or recent legislation which affects each of these areas will be discussed in the column.
