Dear Colleagues:As president-elect of the Pennsylvania Bar Association, I am pleased to invite you to join with us on

May 9 – 11 at the Lancaster Marriott at Penn Square for the Pennsylvania Bar Association’s Annual Meeting.

Located in the heart of Pennsylvania Dutch country, Lancaster provides an ideal setting for the PBA’s largest professional conference of the year. The PBA Annual Meeting will offer quality CLE programming, exciting speakers and professional camaraderie in this charming “plain and fancy” city.

You will not want to miss our superb lineup of informative CLE courses, including a special program on courtroom performance. The annual PBA Women in the Profession Conference on Wednesday will feature lawyer and prisoner rights’ activist Betty Anne Waters, who served as the inspiration for the motion picture “Conviction” starring Oscar winner Hillary Swank, as guest speaker at the Women in the Profession Luncheon. The PBA Real Property, Probate & Trust Law Section will hold its Annual Meeting on May 9 and 10, while PBA’s committees and sections will meet throughout the day on Thursday. Thursday evening’s Gala Annual Dinner will feature entertainment by The Uptown Band, one of the most exciting and versatile acts in the state. Friday’s House of Delegates meeting will bring together the PBA’s policy-making body to confer on critical issues facing the association and legal profession.

Special thanks are in order for USI Affinity, LexisNexis, ABA Retirement Funds and Gateway Rehab for their sponsorship of various activities during the Annual Meeting.

I hope to see you in Lancaster for professional enrichment, fun …and perhaps even a slice of shoofly pie.

Very truly yours,

Thomas G. Wilkinson Jr. William P. CarlucciPBA President-elect 2012 Annual Meeting Chair

9:15 a.m. – 10:15 a.m.“Ready to Run? The Path to Elective Office and Politics for Women” CLE 310More women hold political office today than ever, and yet sufficient representation of women in positions of leadership in all realms of politics has not been achieved. A panel of influential women will look at the opportunities that exist for women in the profession to engage in the political process, and they will explore the ethical issues intertwined with the run for political office. Speakers: Abbe F. Fletman, Esq., Flaster Greenberg Hon. Catherine “Kate” Harper, PA House of RepresentativesHon. Anne E. Lazarus, Superior Court of Pennsylvania Bridget E. Montgomery, Esq., Eckert, Seamans, Cherin & Mellott, LLC CLE Credit: 0.5 Ethics Hour

Building upon the discussion in the first session, this panel of accomplished attorneys will explore opportunities that encourage women in the profession to close the gender gap that exists in membership on profit and not-for-profit boards. Ethical issues, including liability for action (and inaction), acting in a legal versus non-legal capacity, as well as expectations and responsibilities of sound corporate governance, will be examined. Speakers: Katayun I. Jaffari, Esq., Ballard Spahr LLP Roberta D. Liebenberg, Esq., Fine Kaplan & BlackJudith L. Mondre, Founder & President, Mondre Energy CLE Credit: 0.5 Ethics Hour

12:00 p.m. – 2:00 p.m.Annual LuncheonFeatured Keynote Speaker: Betty Anne Waters

Betty Anne Waters served as the inspiration for the motion picture “Conviction,” starring Oscar winner Hillary Swank. In 1983, Betty Anne’s brother was sentenced to life without parole for a murder and robbery he swore he did not commit. When his appeals were shot down and funds for lawyers dwindled, Betty Anne decided to go to college and later, law school to get the credentials necessary to prove her brother’s innocence. Betty Anne tells her incredible true story of how persistence and determination fueled by an unbending belief in her brother’s innocence lead to his exoneration in 2001.

Kenneth Waters was convicted in 1982 of the murder of Katharina Brow. Although a police fingerprint analysis had cleared Waters, this information was not shared with prosecutors or defense attorneys. Because Kenneth’s blood type (O Negative shared by 48 percent of the population) matched the type found at the crime scene, the evidence seemingly added up. He was sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole in 1983 for first-degree murder and armed robbery.

After Kenneth lost every appeal, Betty Anne began her passionate pursuit to free her brother from prison. In 1999, she contacted the Innocence Project, which was founded by Barry C. Scheck and Peter J. Neufeld at the Benjamin N. Cardozo School of Law at Yeshiva University to assist prisoners who could be proved innocent through DNA testing. With the Innocence Project’s help, the male DNA found at the Katharina Brow crime scene was tested, and it was found not to be Kenneth’s DNA, nor was he the perpetrator. Kenneth was exonerated in 2001; sadly, six months after his release, he was killed in a freak accident.

Betty Anne lives in New England and continues her work in freeing wrongfully convicted inmates, as well as fighting for the rights of prison inmates.

Awards Presentation

The Women in the Profession will award the prestigious Anne X. Alpern Award to the Hon. Susan P. Gantman, Superior Court of Pennsylvania, and the Lynette Norton Award to Mary Cushing Doherty, High Swartz LLP, Norristown.

2:15 p.m. – 3:15 p.m. “Serving Our Community – How to Step Up to the Challenge and Responsibilities of the Legal Profession” CLE 312A commitment to serving the most vulnerable in our communities can and does drive the legal profession to do the right thing – ensuring access to justice and strengthening our communities, particularly in these times of economic hardship. On a personal level, you will achieve professional satisfaction knowing that you are making a difference in the life of an individual, a family, or a community. Learn what skills and training are necessary to successfully serve in this capacity, how to become involved, and how to participate ethically within your area of expertise.Speakers: Rachel E. Branson, Esq., Schnader, Harrison, Segal & LewisJennifer R. Clarke, Executive Director, Public Interest Law CenterSharon R. Lopez, Esq., Triquetra Law, LancasterBeverly H. Rampaul, Esq., Public Defender’s Office of LancasterCLE Credit: 1.0 Ethics Hour

3:30 p.m. – 4:30 p.m. “Whether Leading Globally or Locally – How Do You Make Change Happen?” CLE 313The Annual Meeting wraps up with a frank discussion about how to make change happen—how you can be proactive and have an impact on the administration of justice, in politics, in the private sector, and through the Bar and pro bono service. The floor is open for an exchange of ideas, experiences, and tips on how to move beyond “just” practicing law and seize opportunities to lead in various contexts that fulfill our commitment to public service.Speakers: Kimberly Y.
