      Dear Young Lawyers, 

The Utah Minority Bar Association, in conjunction with the Young Lawyers Division and Women Lawyers of Utah, would like to invite you to a &quot;Meet the Candidates&quot; Event in anticipation of the upcoming election.  You are an impressive group of well-qualified candidates to lead our Bar.  We hope that each of you can join us.  The details are as follows: 

Date: Tuesday, May 27 – (ballots go out May 30) 

Time: 5:30pm 

Place: Holland &amp; Hart LLP
          60 E. South Temple, 20th Floor

(Free parking underneath the Smith Memorial Building - entrance on South Temple between Main and State Street) 

Agenda: Brief introductions by the Third Division Commissioner candidates, followed by two 10-minute presentations by the President-Elect Candidates (approx. time - we won&apos;t have a chess clock like a former federal jurist!).  Ending with a moderated Q&amp;A session for all candidates.

      <![CDATA[PURPOSE 
 In 1990, the ABA YLD, in conjunction with the Center on Children and the Law, established the Child Advocacy Award to honor lawyers for distinguished service on behalf of children. The award: 
 
* recognizes the contributions to the legal profession by child advocates who have actively labored on behalf of children 
* celebrates the often unheralded service that child advocates bring to children and the legal profession 
 
ELIGIBILITY
 Any lawyer or judge involved in child advocacy is eligible. The ABA Young Lawyers Division Child Advocacy Award is given to an individual, based on an individual's personal achievement and commitment. It is not given to groups of people, organizations, or posthumously. 
CATEGORIES
 The Division will announce one award for each category: 
 
* Young Lawyer (on September 1, 2008 the individual must be less than 36 years of age or admitted to practice in his/her first bar within the past five years) 
* Non-Young Lawyer (on September 1, 2008 the individual must be 36 or more years of age or admitted to practice in his/her first bar more than five years) 
   
DEADLINES 
 
* April 30, 2008: deadline for all nominations and letters of recommendation 
* June 15, 2008: winners selected and all nominees and nominators will be notified of outcome
