Shifting Tides?
Jessica Karp
Mar 10, 2023
As children, we are taught simple adages that govern our concept of ownership. For hundreds of years, these simple concepts also governed the more complex process of collecting for museums and cultural institutions, where collections were previously stolen by conquerors and colonizers. The idea of true ownership and returning objects of cultural significance to their rightful homes, repatriation, has only become more well-known in the last hundred or so years.

President's Page: Growing Your Legal Community Presence
Landon Ascheman
Mar 06, 2023
When I first started attending HCBA meetings, I had no idea what I was doing. I didn’t know anyone at the meeting, didn’t know what was expected of me, and had absolutely no idea about the structure of the HCBA.

Art and Law: Not So Different?
Terrance C. Newby
Feb 28, 2023
As a novelist, playwright, and litigation attorney, I am often struck by the similarities between my interests. Lawyers use the tools of novelists, playwrights, and photographers to tell our clients’ stories. Whether you try cases before a jury or draft contracts for corporate clients far from a courtroom, the practice of law incorporates the wordcraft of the novel, the drama of theater, and the simple power of the photograph.
