The Red Hills Continuing Legal Education Seminar (CLE) was held in the Fellowship Hall of the First Baptist Church in Louisville, on Friday, June 24, with approximately 50 attorneys and judges in attendance. According to Regan Monk, staff editor (Vol. 91), Mississippi Law Journal, all attorneys in the state must receive a certain number of hours of continuing education, to remain current with new laws and statues that have been passed.
The Red Hills Seminar provided attendees with the opportunity to gain six hours of credit as approved by the Mississippi Commission on Continuing Legal Education. The conference provided a unique opportunity to those in attendance to interact with a panel of lecturers comprised entirely of judges currently serving, or that have previously served, at all levels of Mississippi’s judicial system.
Lecturers included: Chancery Court Judges Joseph Kilgore and Kiley Kirk; Justice Randy Pierce (Ret.); Magistrate Judge F. Keith Ball; Justice Josiah D. Coleman; Chief Judge Donna M. Barnes; and Judge Latrice A. Westbrooks. Rev. Heath Hillman, First Baptist Church pastor and member of the Red Hill Bar Association, introduced the various speakers.
