August 2018 Briefly Speaking | 5 Governor’s Luncheon

Governor John Bel Edwards Addresses New Orleans Bar Association

The New Orleans Bar Association (NOBA) was honored to have Governor John Bel Edwards address the legal commu- nity at one of our Summer Leadership Luncheons at the Ritz Carlton Hotel on June 24, 2018. NOBA President Dana Douglas started with welcoming remarks and an introduction of The Governor. Luncheon attendees welcomed him with a standing ovation.

The Govnernor provided various status updates regarding the state of Louisiana, all of which were overwhelmingly positive. One of the most important announcements concerned the new DXC Technology Center in New Orleans, which was named one of the Top 20 Economic Develop- ment Deals in North America for 2017 by Site Selection magazine. DXC will hire 300 people during 2018, then ramp up to 2,000 jobs over five years and an annual payroll exceeding $133 million by 2025. Governer Edwards also noted that Louisiana’s credit outlook improved according to one of the big Wall Street rating firms in the wake of the recent leg- islative session. Before concluding, The Governor took a few minutes to thank the New Orleans Bar Foundation for their hard work on the Vet- erans Justice Fellowship and Public Interest Law Fellowship. The presti- gious Public Interest Law Fellowship recognizes lawyers who serve the legal needs of the less fortunate, in the highest ideals of the legal pro- fession. This year ‘s fellow is Lauren Barletta, who was in attendance that afternoon.

The New Orleans Bar Association, New Orleans Bar Foundation, and city Gary Johnson, Jason Waguespack, Governor John Bel Edwards and Dana Douglas leaders are extremely grateful that Governor Edwards made the time to address the Bar. We all thank him and hope to have him back in the near

August 2018 Briefly Speaking | 7 Veteran’s Spotlight

Interview conducted by Tiffany Delery Davis, Liskow & Lewis, APLC

Vanassa Douglas received her Juris Doctor from the University of Maryland School of Law. She also holds a Master’s of Arts in Urban Education, with an emphasis in Guidance and Counseling, from Norfolk State University. Ms. Douglas is currently a Career Counsel- or for the Loyola University New Orleans College of Law and serves as the Public Interests and Government Programs Coordinator. She also has a military background, having served as an officer in the Navy. Her naval experiences have included working as a Legal Officer, serving as the Director of an outpatient counsel- ing, treatment, and education center, and working as an Assistant Inspector General.

Ms. Douglas serves on the board of the Louisiana Civil Justice Cen- ter. She is the law school’s representative with the Louisiana State Vanessa Douglas, Bar Association’s Job Fairs, the Sunbelt Job Recruitment Program, Loyola University New Orleans College of Law and the Equal Justice Works Career Fair. Ms. Douglas is a member of the Federal Bar Association (FBA), the Association of Women Attorneys, the Louisiana Association of Black Women Attorneys, the New Orleans Legal Recruiting Association, and the Association for Legal Career Professionals (NALP). Through NALP, she serves on various sections, committees and workgroups, to include: federal and state government opportunities, law student professional development, nontraditional legal careers, and public service. She also serves with the FBA federal career services division. Ms. Douglas is also a liaison with a pro bono assistance project for mil- itary veterans and the Orleans Parish Civil District Court’s Self-Help Resource Center for Self-represented Litigants.

Davis: Tell us about your military service?

Douglas: I served as an officer in the United States Navy. During my time in the Navy, I performed a variety of roles. I was a Legal Officer at a submarine base for student training, where I was responsible for directing and coordinating all legal services offered to military and civilian personnel. This included presenting cases at military hearings (perform- ing in a role comparable to a prosecutor), and executing the disposition of all legal and disciplinary matters. My other positions as a Naval Officer included: Assistant Inspector General, involved with compliance inspections on member organizations; Director of an outpatient counseling and treatment center for military personnel, managing adminis- trative, counseling, and clinical efforts; and Director of an education and outreach prevention center, overseeing and facilitating education, outreach, and training programs for supervisory military personnel.

Davis: What inspired you to join the military?

Douglas: I was looking for a career option that would give me flexibility, a variety of duties, and the opportunity to travel. While conducting my job search, I happen to speak with a Navy recruiter who informed me of the many op- tions and programs available as an officer and that the Navy was seeking more women to join its officer ranks.

Continued on page 9...

8 | Briefly Speaking August 2018 Veteran’s Spotlight

I had always felt drawn to the Navy as a possible career choice (probably because of its traditions and its naval bases proximity to water!), but I had not taken any steps to learn about the many career possibilities. Therefore, the timing could not have been better and what I discovered made me quite eager to pursue this opportunity. So I joined, went to Officer Candidate School, became a commissioned officer, and I never looked back – one of the best decisions I have ever made!

Davis: How has your experience in the military assisted you in your current career?

Douglas: I learned invaluable life lessons while in the Navy which have been readily transferrable to my le- gal life. My military experiences have equipped me with so many useful tools to tackle the circumstances and challenges I have encountered. The leadership opportunities taught me how to appreciate and consider all individuals’ input and ideas, enabling me to reflect on all sides of an issue and explore the realm of possibilities. It sharpened my analytical and critical thinking skills, as you are often tasked with assignments where either no one is available to relay their experience or provide their expertise in the same situation, or it has never been accomplished before. You are faced with the proverbial “sink or swim” - so you learn how to swim (or at least float). You learn not to be easily discouraged and readily give up, the importance of flexibility, and to persevere in spite of the odds being against you. You don’t stress over small problems, you learn how to be calm in the face of great stress, you don’t become easily flustered, and you learn to adjust at a moment’s notice. You don’t shrink from making decisions. You make the tough call as needed.

Davis: What can lawyers do to help Veterans?

Douglas: I am heartened to learn about new and expanded initiatives to address veterans’ legal issues, as their service experience can affect them in ways quite different from the general population. These programs are making a difference in the lives of veterans, but there is still a need for more assistance for more veterans. One way to help is to learn more about the challenges faced by veterans – some of the issues they must address may be surprising. I would recommend attending a CLE on veterans’ issues; it may offer insight into ways lawyers can help veterans or their clients who are veterans. Also, if a lawyer is looking for another way to offer pro bono ser- vices, consider collaborating with a legal aid or other pro bono organization, the Department of Veterans Affairs, or a veterans service organization (e.g., VFW, DAV, etc.).

10 | Briefly Speaking August 2018 Member Spotlight

Interview conducted by Patrick Schepens, Galloway, Johnson, Tompkins, Burr & Smith, APLC

Earlier this year, Barry Grodsky was sworn in as the 78th President of the Louisiana State Bar Association. And on August 7, 2018, Judy Perry Martinez will go from being a President-Elect Nominee to the 2018-2019 President-Elect of the American Bar Association. Al- though Barry and Judy are both proud to call New Orleans home, their ties and history run much deeper than sharing the same city.

A Powerhouse Study Group

In 1979, Barry and Judy enrolled in law school at Tulane University and graduated three years later in the summer of 1982. According to Barry, this gives their law school class the distinction of being the only class to have a sitting state bar president and incoming ABA President-Elect serve at the same time. Without a doubt, this coincidence provides unique opportunities for collaboration be- tween the national, state, and local bar associations over the com- ing years. And remarkably, this collaboration began thirty-six years ago around a kitchen table. Judy Perry Martinez and Barry Grodsky

After graduation, Judy sought out a few select colleagues to study and prepare for the bar exam together. As she explained, she wanted people who would take studying seriously and commit to studying every day while managing the stress and anxiety that comes along with preparing for the bar exam. As a result, she reached out to Barry and Julia Heintz Murray and just like that a study group was formed. Notably, there was a fourth member of their group— Judy’s dog Justice—who dutifully sat in the fourth chair of her kitchen table every day. As they reminisced, the trio attended Tulane’s bar review lectures every morning and studied each day until 5:00 p.m. Every Friday, they pooled money together to buy bread, lunchmeat, and one bag of chips to make lunches the coming week. On at least one occasion, Judy scolded Barry for eating too many chips at once and not rationing them for the rest of the week. As fate would have it, all of them—except Justice—went on to pass the bar and have fulfilling legal careers. And all of them remain close friends to this day.

A Go-Getter and a Late Bloomer

Following the bar exam, Judy joined the firm of Simon, Peragine, Smith & Redfearn where she was encouraged to get involved with the ABA. She followed the advice of her future partners and within a year attended her first ABA meet- ing. Since then, she has maintained active roles in national, state, and local bar organizations while juggling work and family obligations. Her accomplishments with these groups are too numerous to list but when read together they reveal her dedication to serving the public and giving back to her profession. For all the time and hard work Judy gave to these groups, she admittedly received much in return. As she explained, these organizations made her a better lawyer, person, and citizen. Through participation in the ABA, she developed numerous contacts and inter- acted with people from all over the country with differing perspectives and practices. Ultimately, these groups and her involvement helped prepare her to go in house and work for a global company, Northrop Grumman.

August 2018 Briefly Speaking | 11 Member Spotlight

Barry, on the other hand, is a self-described “late bloomer” when it comes to bar involvement. Although he fre- quently attended bar functions with his wife Cheri Cotogno Grodsky, an Associate Executive Director with the Louisi- ana Bar who he incidentally was first introduced to by Judy, his participation was limited as he focused on his practice. Then in 2002, he wrote a letter to then-LSBA President Larry Feldman and asked to be placed on the Professionalism and Quality of Life Committee. Since that time, he has been active with a number of committees and boards within the State Bar that culminated with his election as President. Although he has devoted a significant amount of time to the LSBA, Barry agrees that he has received much in return. From expanding his network to include judges and attorneys throughout the State to the personal satisfaction attained from helping young lawyers through the LSBA’s Mentoring Program, his time spent in service to the Bar has been well spent.

One Person Can Make a Difference

Although they became active at different times in their careers, Barry and Judy attribute lessons learned while at Tulane as being a catalyst behind their involvement with bar organizations. Specifically, they recalled hearing and learning from many practicing attorneys including Judge Eldon Fallon, Max Nathan, Sam Dalton, and other “legal giants” who took the time to teach a class or give a lecture while they were in law school. From this they learned that it is just as important to give back to the profession and the public as it is to advance one’s career.

We often hear the saying “one person can make a difference;” indeed, Judy shared the same expression when re- counting how her undergraduate professor, Dr. Barry Barnoi, suggested that she should go to law school. Judy and Barry, however, exemplify this expression in their careers, professional involvement, and mentorship of young attor- neys. Both Barry and Judy explained the sense of satisfaction and fulfillment they get from helping new attorneys. While it takes time to meet a young attorney for lunch or coffee, Judy explains it is tremendously rewarding to watch someone’s development and know that you played some role, however large or small. And she points out that any- one interested in mentoring should reach out to the NOBA, ABA or LSBA, which offer mentorship programs.

Challenges Ahead

While the practice and profession of law has changed significantly over the past thirty-six years, challenges lie ahead that these groups are committed to addressing. For example, Barry and Judy recognize the difficulties faced by new graduates finding jobs and repaying student loans, as well as, the need to improve access to the justice system. Earlier this year, the ABA addressed these issues with members of Congress during the group’s annual Day on the Hill. And the NOBA, LSBA, and ABA are committed to improvements in these areas.

Like the study group they formed many years ago, Barry and Judy explained that the strength of national, state, and local bar associations comes from the collaborative effort of their members. Accordingly, they encourage everyone, whether you are a new or seasoned attorney, to get involved with a bar organization as there is too much work to be done to be left to a few people.
