Resignations represent 39 Years of Legal Experience
Some attorneys are resigning from various lists in protest over the lack of funding to pay them this year. If you are a Brisol County bar advocate, you can view the calendars for your courts by logging on to the private area of the website. To do that, just click on the heading of the main page, and then fill in your user name and your password. Your user name is the first letter of your first name, followed by your full last name. For example, Tom Workman would be user: TWORKMAN. To obtain your password, ask that it be emailed to you (you can access that request from the logon page).
Once you are logged on, a custom web page will show you your future duty dates. You can click on your duty date to view your assignment calendar for that month, or on the Court Name to view the assignments for that court for that month.
For attorneys who have resigned in protest, their names will be displayed in red, with a line through their name, to indicate that the attorney has resigned from the list. To read why, click on the entry in the column labeled "Reason", and you will be shown their resignation letter, if it has been supplied to the webmaster.
