Delighted to be back in Wilmington and New York City. My colleagues and I welcomed Penn State Dickinson Law alums. Honored by Dean Danielle Conway's kind introduction and her spontaneous invitation to address our alumni. Participating in alumni receptions is one of my favorite parts of my job. It's inspiring to meet generations of alums who have graduated and done well for themselves, learn about their diverse paths, hear their fond memories of their time at the law school, and explore new ways to collaborate. Kudos to my colleagues Kelly Rimmer Robin Langhans, M.Ed. Laura H. Williams Tom Lee and Brett Conway for their important work at each of these events. Pleased that Michelle Nerozzi-Ankenbrand and Roberte Makowski, whom I had the pleasure of working with this earlier year both accepted my invitation to join us! After Wilmington, I headed to New York to thank Tom Pease Nick Groombridge, Jennifer Wu Hugh Hansen Joshua L. Simmons for their recent partnership with us, hear their suggestions and advice, and share my plans for the coming year to explore new ways to collaborate with these terrific folks. It was great meeting members of the creative community gathered to celebrate the book reading of Jen's friend, Abigail Hing Wen.

The Pennsylvania Bar Association Federal Practice Committee, the Pennsylvania Bar Institute, and Penn State Dickinson Law present the Federal Practice Institute, designed especially for attorneys who litigate in federal court in Pennsylvania. Using a hypothetical case, federal judges in the Middle and Eastern Districts of Pennsylvania and the Third Circuit Court of Appeals, academics, and seasoned practitioners review key procedures and practices in federal practice. I'll be discussing the impact of AI on trial practice and look forward to meeting the Pennsylvania bench and bar.
