Out with the new, in with the old

I guess I knew that when somebody takes the Colorado Bar Exam, it's probably not to enhance her resume at the ADO.

Sarah Morrison left the ADO late last month to move to Colorado to join a small firm there. A lot of Sarah's family is in the Denver area, so it really wasn't a big surprise. But sad nonetheless. Sarah just got a win in State v. Gore, reversing an aggravated criminal sodomy conviction on statutory speedy trial grounds.

The silver lining is that Sarah's departure made room for the return of Heather Cessna. Heather left in December 2006 (as blogged about here) and has been in private practice about a year and a half. But as many people (myself included) learn, practicing law at the ADO is a pretty good gig (assuming you like sitting in an office, reading transcripts, researching, and writing all day). For the few, the proud, the geeky, it's just write. So, welcome back Heather. (Ironically, she moved back into the exact same office she left 18 months ago!).
