Lundin Clerk of the Superior Court Cochise County Bisbee, Arizona ACKNOWLEDGMENTS Many thanks must be given to Dr. Melanie Sturgeon, State Archivist of the Arizona State Library, Archives and Public Records for her inspiring work and her support. Court records really are gems! A special thank you goes to Dr. Todd Lutes, political science professor at the University of Arizona South for his help, encouragement, and use of interns on our other court history projects. I am very appreciative of the encouraging words and the letter of support from the Hon. Rebecca White Berch, Chief Justice of the Arizona Supreme Court. Carrie Gustavson, Director of the Bisbee Mining and Historical Museum has so often served as my muse and is a kindred spirit in all-things-history. Thank you to Lee Shainen, Richard Prouty, Sue Hall, and Robert Palmquist for your advice - it made a difference in this effort. No one had better behind-the-scenes support which came from Mary Edie, Render Gregory, Fran Ranaccelli and Teresa Rockrich of the Cochise County Clerk of the Superior Court‟s office. It was always great receiving inspiring emails from my CEDP class group, “The Devos” – Sonya Kraski, Karen Kringlie, Amy McDowell, and Neil Nesheim. My advisor, Dr. Matt Kleiman of NCSC, showed true patience and gave me strong, excellent guidance. Any failings of this paper are mine alone. Lastly, to my family: mom, Providencia Lundin, sisters, Diana and Doris Lundin.

Rebecca White Berch, Chief Justice, Supreme Court of Arizona Hon. Roslyn O. Silver, Chief United States District Judge, Arizona DISTINGUISHED PANELISTS: David Rosenbaum, Partner, Osborn Maledon, P.A. Shane Swindle, Partner, Perkins Coie, LLP Jack Friedman (Moderator), President, Directors Roundtable Institute REPORTED BY: PAMELA A. GRIFFIN, RPR, CRR Certified Reporter Certificate No. 50010 2 JACK FRIEDMAN: I am Jack Friedman, President of the Directors Roundtable Institute. We are a pro bono group that has organized 750 events nationally and globally over the last 21 years. We have never charged a penny for anyone to attend any event ever. I myself have been a volunteer chair for the last 21 years, and that is the spirit with which we pursue our educational programming. The reason why this particular program is important is that we feel that there has been a disconnect between public service, public policy, and the larger community including business. We don't take positions on any public matter whatsoever. When I use the word "business community and business leaders," I'm really going beyond that. It can also be the nonprofit sector, academics, and others. We try to benefit the larger community, although the business community is what we're primarily identified with. The courts are the one branch of the United States government that is expected to have independence.

    JOHN BOUMA HONORED WITH 2015 GOLD ‘N GAVEL AMICUS AWARD FROM THE SANDRA DAY O’CONNOR COLLEGE OF LAW AT ARIZONA STATE UNIVERSITY PHOENIX (October 1, 2015) – Snell & Wilmer is pleased to announce that partner John J. Bouma received the Gold ‘n Gavel Amicus Award from the Sandra Day O’Connor College of Law at Arizona State University (ASU Law). The award was presented as part of the Third Annual Gold ‘n Gavel Auction and Reception, ASU Law’s signature event to raise funds for student scholarships and innovative school programs. Bouma was recognized for his long-term support of ASU Law, his leadership in the Phoenix legal community and his dedication to improving the Valley. Two of his children are ASU Law graduates. A video profile on Bouma shown at the event can be viewed here. After serving more than 30 years as Snell & Wilmer chairman, Bouma stepped down from the position in early March. He remains active in his practice, which emphasizes complex business litigation, including antitrust and legal malpractice defense, and continues to serve on the firm’s executive and compensation committees. Throughout more than five decades at the firm, he has helped influence economic development, public policy and cultural life across Snell & Wilmer’s geographic footprint. Hundreds of people attended the event held at the Sheraton Phoenix Downtown Hotel, including retired U.S. Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O’Connor, Phoenix Mayor Greg Stanton, and former Arizona Supreme Court Chief Justice John J. Bouma Ruth McGregor. Michael Gallagher, co-founding partner of Gallagher & Kennedy, served as the event’s auctioneer.

Tucson LAWYERS attorney Glicksman has served as the master of PROGRAM ceremonies for the VLP’s 25 Years of Service awards events for the last 10 years. BY MICHELE MIRTO 2006 marks the 25th anniversary of the Volunteer Lawyers Programs (VLP) in Arizona. During that history, the number of volunteer attorneys associated with the VLP programs has grown steadily, as have the services provided. In its anniversary year, the VLP programs worked with more than 3,497 volunteer attorneys to pro- vide services to an estimated 13,373 clients across the state—all of whom faced legal issues and who benefited from VLP counsel and the generosity of our volunteers. To celebrate this milestone, the VLP programs coordi- nated three special recognition events last fall. The first took place on October 25, 2006, when nearly 300 attor- neys and guests attended the VLP Awards Luncheon at the Fox Theatre in downtown Tucson. also included the announcement of the 2006 “For Love of Justice” The Southern Arizona VLP celebration saw a surprise visit from Awards to individuals, law firms and other organizations that provide former U.S. Senator John Edwards, a longtime advocate for equal jus- and promote pro bono service in the five counties served by CLS.
