What trends are you seeing in family law? I see an increase in shared custody rather than primary physical to one parent. Additionally, the idea of lifetime spousal support is going by the wayside in favor of more temporary, rehabilitative, support.

You are the president of the Virginia Bar Association. What issues is the VBA addressing this year?  The VBA is currently working on its first strategic plan in 10 years. Additionally, we have been working diligently to be involved with law students as they make the transition from student to practice. We worked very hard to obtain full funding for the judiciary in the General Assembly and are continuing to advocate for improvement in the body of law in Virginia. Additionally, this year we’ve had several programs commemorating the 400^th anniversary of the arrival of African slaves in America and the struggles African Americans have had and are overcoming.
