Please come out and support Judge Jones as he runs for the Court of Criminal Appeals, Place 1. He has the qualifications and experience for this position. Over the past 28 years, he has been a prosecutor, defense attorney, and a judge. He can view all three sides of an appeal not only with the knowledge of the law, but also from his experiences from all three areas of practice. http://judgeclydejones.net/

This year's Softball Showdown between the prosecutors and defense attorneys will be held on Friday, June 6 at 4:00pm. We will again be playing at George Ward Park in Homewood. Drinks and snacks will be provided for the players. Please come out and play or cheer on your favorite team! The Criminal Justice Section is sponsoring this event, but teams are open to non-members as well. Please spread the word to those who may be interested. Judges are welcome to play on either team.
