Tenth Anniversary

Today we held the tenth seminar in the series of annual seminars that Probate Court Three has sponsored for the lawyers who do the court’s mental health docket. The court’s motivation in starting the program a decade ago was simply that there was–and continues to be–a dearth of continuing legal education seminars on the topic of civil commitments. Most probably the reason for the dearth of seminars is the Law of Supply and Demand. There are too few lawyers who practice in this area of law to justify the expense of putting on such a program.

The court wishes to thank Ms. Kathi Perkins of the court’s staff for organizing each and everyone of them. She has done a fine job. It is hoped that she will continue to do so for many years in the future.

The court’s thanks is hereby extended to our three speakers today–Kevin Keating of the Harris County District Attorney’s Office; Ms. Cindy Cameron and Phil Stiles. Thank you one and all.
