Dear Ms. Jelinek :

Thank you for your facsimile transmission of February 24, 1998 regarding the Appellate Admission Mass Swearing-In for the Spring of 1998. As we discussed, the dates I had given you during our earlier telephone conversation were dates the Court of Appeals could not accommodate. One of those dates is the date you set, May 20th.

As we discussed, my deputy, Gail Arceneaux , who completes the certificates for the Court of Appeals and directs the signing of the roll books and the distribution of the certificates is off that week. Also, oral arguments are tentatively set for May 20th and at least one other judge will not be able to attend on that date. I myself have a conflict.

I would ask that you consider scheduling the Mass Swearing-In to coincide with the Annual Meeting of the State Bar. Until last year when the Bar met at Hilton Head Island, South Carolina, the Bar had always scheduled a mass swearing- in at the Bar Meeting in Savannah.

The Mass Swearing-In is the product of the Younger Lawyers Section of the State Bar and the Court of Appeals appreciates the opportunity to participate. Simply because this Court has conflicts, does not mean that you should change the dates for us. However, I did want you to be aware of our conflicts.

If you have any questions or would like to discuss this matter with me further, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Sincerely,

William L. Martin, III

Administrator/Clerk

Court of Appeals of Georgia
