Calling All Authors!

The Delaware Law Review, the DSBA’s scholarly journal, is currently seeking content for its next issue, due out this October. The Law Review publishes scholarly articles that focus on Delaware case law and legislation, preferably authored by DSBA members. Articles should be 7,000 to 20,000 words in length (including footnotes) and can address any area of law or legal theory. Your work just needs to be relevant to Delaware and its lawyers!

The Law Review is currently redesigning its website in order to make its scholarship available to a broader audience. Volume 18 will be the first to publish on the new platform, bringing the Law Review’s work before a greater number of practitioners, scholars, and readers.

If you have an article, or an idea for an article, please contact Rebecca Baird (rbaird@dsba.org). She’ll put you in contact with a member of the Editorial Board who can help with preparing your work for submission and editing. And, if you’re having flashbacks to your law school days, with endless rounds of bluebooking, take heart — that’s not our editorial process.

To see past issues of the Delaware Law Review, visit www.delawarelawreview. org. If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to the Editor-inChief, Anthony A. Rickey, Esquire, at arickey@margravelaw.com or the Assistant Editor-in-Chief, Anthony V. Panicola, Esquire, at apanicola@declasi.org.

The month of May was Mental Health Awareness Month. For the second year in a row, DE-LAP and the Professional Guidance/Lawyers Assistance Committees of the DSBA, along with the ABA, State LAPS, and State Bar Associations hosted and facilitated Lawyer Well-Being Week from May 3 to May 7 with a special Member Appreciation Event hosted by DSBA and DE-LAP on Saturday, May 8 at Ramsey’s Farm (photos on page 27). Each day focused on a facet of wellness, kicking off on Monday with the first of five courses on Meditation; Tuesday offered concurrent sessions on “If I Am Not Lawyering, What Else Can I Do?: Introduction to Hobbies, Hiking, Music and More”; Wednesday’s Tri-County Walk was a big success in Kent and Sussex (New Castle County needed to be rescheduled due to rain); Thursday’s session addressed “Well-Being and Mental Health Legislation/Suicide Prevention”; and the week wrapped up with a DE-LAP collaboration with the coaching firm, Ask What Matters?! and a session on resilience and wellness. Condolences to the family of Louis H. Rombach, Esquire, who died on April 28, 2021. Condolences to Susan List Hauske, Esquire, on the death of her mother, Patricia (Pat) J. List, who died on May 7, 2021. Condolences to the family of the Honorable Pierre S. (“Pete”) du Pont IV, who died on May 8, 2021.
