To the Editor of The Briefs:
It is with great pleasure that I offer my sincerest congratulations to the people who have been a part of the Legal Aid
Society of the Orange County Bar Association, both now and for the last fifty years.
As the Society and Association celebrate this significant anniversary, I know my voice is one of many expressing deep
appreciation for what has been accomplished in your community by so many lawyers who are dedicated to the rule of law
and the legal needs of the poor.
Truly, the cause for celebration extends far beyond the individuals who have been helped by the Legal Aid Society of
the Orange County Bar Association. It extends even beyond the wider Central Florida community. The vigorous commitment your legal community has made to pro bono representation heartens everyone who loves liberty and who seeks
justice, regardless of where they live.
The rule of law has made this nation great–and lawyers give life to the rule of law in our society. Without the legal
profession, our way of life and the freedoms and rights we cherish would not be possible. In Orange County, your mandatory pro bono program demonstrates not just the serious commitment of the lawyers in your community but also the
vitality of the values that are at the heart of our democracy.
So, when I express my thanks to and admiration of the people who make up the Legal Aid Society of the Orange
County Bar Association, I do so as the administrative leader of Florida’s judicial branch, as a lawyer who has been a member of The Florida Bar for more than thirty years, and as an American who loves his country.
Of course, providing pro bono representation is part of the oath we take as lawyers and part of the obligation that
goes hand in hand with the privilege of practicing law. It is the embodiment of the highest ideals of our profession and
constitutes one of the most fundamental demands of a life in the law. For fifty years the lawyers of Orange County have
honored and fulfilled this aspect of our profession.
I thank the men and women who have been a part of the Legal Aid Society of the Orange County,Bar Association for
their service to their community, our profession, our state, and our country.
Sincerely,
Charles T. Canady

Dear Members of the Bar,
The current economic climate has created an increased need for legal services among the neediest in
our community. Pro bono organizations have experienced a dramatic increase in the number of clients who
need assistance. I would like to urge each of you to help manage this crisis by taking on a pro bono case. The
One Campaign (one attorney, one client, one promise) has been launched to recruit additional lawyers to
represent indigent clients.
The Florida Bar’s Rules of Professional Conduct emphasize a lawyer’s professional responsibility to
provide pro bono legal services. Rule 4-6.1 of the Florida Rules of Professional Conduct provides that:
Each member of The Florida Bar in good standing, as part of the member’s professional responsibility, should (1) render pro bono legal services to the poor and (2) participate, to the extent possible, in
other pro bono service activities that directly relate to the legal needs of the poor.
Rule 4-6.1 urges members of the Florida Bar to volunteer at least 20 hours of pro bono legal assistance
to the poor or, alternatively, to make an annual contribution of at least $350 to a legal aid organization.
Unfortunately, the need for pro bono lawyers cannot be fixed by donations alone. The numerous
legal aid and pro bono organizations around the state need many more volunteer attorneys to help and
you are qualified to assist. I encourage you to participate in the One Campaign by taking just “One More”
case. The contact information for local legal aid providers follows.

Florida Supreme Court Honors Orange County Attorneys
The Florida Supreme Court, The Florida Bar’s Young Lawyers Division (YLD) and the Florida Pro Bono Coordinators Association announced
the attorneys who were recognized for their outstanding pro bono work. The annual project is funded by YLD and was established to encourage participation with local organized pro bono programs. This year those attorneys who contribute more than 100 hours will receive
a personal letter from Chief Justice Charles T. Canady. All attorneys will receive a lapel pin modeled on the ONE campaign. ONE, www.
onepromiseflorida.org, is a campaign launched to increase pro bono casework in Florida by the Standing Committee on Pro Bono Legal Services. The letters from Chief Justice Canady and the pins are being mailed by Legal Aid to 333 attorneys who participated through Legal Aid.
The number of hours are determined by cases closed and project hours during the period December 1, 2009, through November 18, 2010.

bono requirement that works? His
response: Most legal aid organizations start from the bottom as
more of a grass-roots effort, and
leadership needs to be convinced.
In contrast, the OCBA’s Legal Aid
program was founded and continually supported by the bar’s leaders
– people like Egerton K. van den
Berg, Donald P. Dietrich, Francis
V. Gay, Russell Troutman, Jim Seals
and Gregory Presnell, to name only
a few.
Now a long-time partner at Fishback, Dominick, Bennet, Stepter,
Ardaman, Ahlers & Langley LLP,
Chuck continues his pro bono efforts, along with other members of
his firm. In fact, in 2009 the firm received the Chief Justice’s Law Firm
Commendation in honor of its attorneys’ extensive pro bono work.
Chuck has long dedicated himself
to aiding our community through
his service with Legal Aid and on
state committees tasked with addressing the legal services to those
without financial means. He served
as president of Legal Aid from 1982
to 1983; as treasurer of Legal Aid
from 1979 to 1996 and from 1998
to date; as a member of The Florida
Bar Foundation Legal Assistance to
the Poor Grant Committee from
1989 to 1993 and from 1997 to
2001; as a member of the Joint
Commission on Delivery of Legal
Services to the Indigent in Florida
from 1990 to 1992; as chairman
of the 9th Judicial Circuit Pro Bono
Committee from 1998 to date; and
as a member of The Florida Bar
Standing Committee on Pro Bono
Legal Services from 2002 to date.
Chuck is the recipient of the Legal
Aid Society J.C. “Jake” Stone Distinguished Service Award, and The
Florida Bar President’s Pro Bono
Service Award. It should come as
no surprise, though, that rather
than take credit for his efforts and
awards, Chuck instead credits his
fellow attorneys, noting that a spirit
of giving permeates Orange County and is part of our legal culture,
making it possible for attorneys to
excel in their pro bono efforts.
In the final moments of our interview, I asked what Chuck would
recommend for new attorneys who
wish to explore Legal Aid but are
not sure how to begin. He suggested that they volunteer in the intake department for a couple of half
days so they can see the people they
will aid, and talk to staff attorneys
and judges. Good advice, from one
who knows. After all, though few of
us may so thoroughly dedicate ourselves to pro bono work, we can all
contribute to helping the citizens
of Orange County obtain the legal
services they need – one pro bono
case, one family mediation, one
AIDS project, one tax clinic, one
homeless advocacy project, or one
education panel at a time.

OCBA since 2002.

but if she wasn’t, it was someone she barely knew that
was comforting her. Albeit someone new, someone
was there to comfort her, someone keeping her safe
and secure. Kids are resilient, but they shouldn’t
have to be. Raising my child is the best thing I’ve
ever done, and it reminds me every day why the
work we do as GALs is so important.
This is only one example of the type of
staff person we are going to lose if Legal
Aid does not get the funding necessary for
these positions. This leaves the “Marys”
of the world falling through the cracks.
In light of our 50-year celebration, let us
remember the passion behind the mission

Dear
John,
By John Elliott Leighton
Dear John,
I heard that people
tortured under the
Egyptian government
can file cases against
Mubarak in the U.S.
How can this be true?
—M. H., Key Largo
A: Under the Foreign Sovereign Immunity Act,
if a foreign defendant qualifies as a “Foreign
State” under the FSIA, the Act provides immunity
to suit in any state or federal U.S. Court unless
a statutory exception to immunity applies.
Exceptions were added by amendment to the FSIA
and updated in 2008 for torture, extrajudicial
killing, aircraft sabotage and hostage-taking.

t has been more than 135
years since J. Sterling Morton
founded Arbor Day. He had
a simple idea of setting aside a
special day for planting trees. Although Florida Arbor Day is the
third Friday in January, National
Arbor Day is the last Friday in
April. You can celebrate National
Arbor Day by planting a tree in
your backyard, visiting a local
park, or taking a nature hike!
Now, let’s see what the Central
Florida Association for Women
Lawyers and the Greater Orlando
Asian American Bar Association
are doing in April.
CFAWL
On April 2, 2011, members of the
CFAWL Young Lawyers Committee and law students from the
Women’s Lawyer Association of
Barry Law School visited Harbor House of Central Florida,
a domestic violence emergency
shelter, to clean, paint, and redecorate the living room, children’s
play room, and computer room.
Last year, Harbor House provided
emergency shelter to more than
800 women and children. The
CFAWL Young Lawyers Committee will continue its donation
drive for Harbor House throughout the spring and summer as it
prepares for a second visit in the
fall. For more information about
Harbor House, please visit www.
harborhousefl.com. For more
information about this project,
please contact the chair of the
CFAWL Young Lawyers Committee, Megan Malec, at [email protected]. Special thanks
to everyone who made the first
makeover visit a success!
GOAABA
On March 22, 2011, GOAABA
and Barry Law School co-hosted
a Law Panel at Barry University.
Lawyers from different practice
areas spoke about practicing law
in the real world. This was a great
opportunity for Barry Law School
students to learn about how to
transition from law school to the
real world and how to apply their
knowledge from the classroom to
the courtroom and the law office.
Thank you to Angela Miller for
organizing this rewarding event!
Please mark your calendar for
a Joint Social with GOAABA,
HBACF, CFGLLA and Paul C.
Perkins Bar to be held April 21,
2011. Details for this not-to-bemissed night of fun, food, and
drinks are in the works. In the
meantime, please contact Lisa
Gong at [email protected]
or Felipe Guerrero at [email protected] for more
information.
Finally, keep your eyes and ears

April 2011. For more information about attending or speaking

Juan Lopez-Campillo
J
Vivian P. Cocotas
uan Lopez-Campillo knew he liked working with
kids, so when he joined the OCBA in 1999, Teen
Court seemed liked the ideal program for his pro
bono service. Twelve years later, Juan is serving on the
board of directors both for Teen Court and for Teen
Alternatives, Inc., which raises funds for children involved in the Teen Court program. According to Juan,
his long standing involvement with
Teen Court stems purely from the
satisfaction of “knowing that you
are helping kids who have strayed
and hopefully steering them out of
the juvenile justice system.”
A very popular program amongst
members of the OCBA and student volunteers, Teen Court diverts
first-time misdemeanor offenders
from Juvenile Court and expedites

OCBA and court personnel. Although the basics of
Teen Court are familiar to many, Juan believes that
the scholarship opportunities awarded by Teen Court
also deserve some attention. Each year, Teen Court
awards a four year college scholarship to a worthy
high school senior selected from students who have
volunteered for Teen Court. Several stipends are also
given to student volunteers to help defray the costs of
college. These scholarships are made possible through
the fund-raising efforts of Teen Alternatives.
The success of Teen Court is due in no small part to
the many tireless volunteers like Juan Lopez-Campillo, who, day in and day out, devote their time to directly and positively impact the youth of our community. We thank Juan, along with the other members
of the OCBA and Legal Aid Society, for their valuable
service.
Juan C. Lopez-Campillo is a labor and employment
attorney practicing in the Orlando office of Jackson Lewis LLP. He is a 2008 recipient of the Legal
Aid Society’s Award of Excellence, a 2004 recipient
of the Judge Thomas S. Kirk Founders Award, and
has earned both the Orange County Teen Court Volunteer Award and the Presidential Volunteer Service
Award multiple times for his volunteerism.
Vivian P. Cocotas, an attorney with Brown, Garganese,
Weiss & D’Agresta, P.A., is a co-editor of The Briefs. She has
been a member of the OCBA since 1990.

by far outweigh the time you
spend.”
Mangum puts it more bluntly:
“You gotta give back! I could
argue with any of them,” he
says of attorneys who say they
don’t have time to do pro bono
work. “You spend an hour with
[a pro bono client], then it’s like
any other case. It’s not changing your firm’s budget. If you
just pay $350 and you’re done
with it, it’s a disservice to the
community.”
“You can buy your way out,
but why?” Mangum says. “It
doesn’t even cover a Legal Aid
Society staff member’s salary
for a week!”
ciety is a great organization
to volunteer with. “The Legal
Aid Society is a very impressive organization. From everything I’ve seen, it’s a well-run
operation and a benefit to all
of the indigent community in
Orange County,” says Cox.
Mangum noted that the Legal
Aid Society makes doing pro
bono work easy, and stated that
the “Legal Aid Society is doing
such a tremendous job. They
do whatever they can to get clients representation.”
Suzanne D. Meehle, attorney
with The Meehle Law Firm, is an associate editor of The Briefs. She has
been a member of the OCBA since
2006.
Both Mangum and Cox agree
that one more reason to give

HONEYWELL MEDIATION
& Other Alternative Dispute Resolution Services
Does your mediator keep trying after your mediation has failed?
Upon the effort begun during mediation, a large number of mediations can be resolved after
formal mediation has concluded. If you can’t resolve your matter initially, your mediator can
use post-mediation opportunities to find a prior-missed resolution.
