eDelivery for Marin Superior Court

Revision of the Uniform Local Rules of Court for July 2022

The January 31, 2023 deadline for Bay Area cities and counties to revise and update their Housing Elements has passed, and only four of the Bay Area’s 109 local jurisdictions – San Francisco, City of Alameda, Emeryville, and San Leandro – have adopted fully compliant Housing Elements so far. While many of the Bay Area’s other jurisdictions have made substantial progress toward updating their Housing Elements, others have shown little effort in meeting their obligations under the state’s Housing Element Law. State law imposes a number of potential enforcement penalties and consequences on jurisdictions that fail to comply with the Housing Element Law, including the oft-discussed “Builder’s Remedy”, and housing advocacy groups have started turning to the courts to enforce these provisions against noncompliant jurisdictions.
MCBA took the opportunity to learn more of the personal side of Judge Verna Adams. Congratulations Judge Adams for serving on the Marin Superior Court for more than 23 years.
Dear Friends, As I write my President’s Message from the Iranian American Bar Association Conference in Los Angeles, I consider the importance and relevance of bar associations in today’s world.
On February 28, 2023, the Marin County Bar Association held its monthly general meeting with Board member Alex Vahdat interviewing Paul Llewellyn about Paul’s new book, Unshackled: Reimagining the Practice of Law. Paul is the founding partner of Lewis & Llewellyn, a boutique litigation firm in San Francisco and he brings a unique perspective to the topic of reforming the legal profession having studied and practiced law in England before coming to the United States. Relying on that experience, Paul discussed a wide variety of ideas ranging from how law students are trained, the billable hour model, and civility amongst attorneys.
In November, MCBA hosted the third annual virtual Bay Area MCLE Conference, presenting 15 programs which provided over 920 collective hours of CLE credit to the attendees, who overwhelmingly rated the speakers and program content as outstanding. As always, the conference covered a diverse array of topics, which together provided nearly all the specialty CLE credits the State Bar requires.
Just when you thought you’d seen the last of me, here I am again. This time I’m stepping in for our editor, who termed off of MCBA’s board at the end of the year and with our altered publication schedule, has other commitments. This issue of the Marin Lawyer brings you several articles on immigration.
