From the Editor

Melanie J. Wender

Editor, Bucks Writs

Hello and welcome

Hello and welcome to the 2022 spring edition of the Writs Magazine! A lot of changes have occurred, including myself as the new editor in chief of the Writs Magazine. My hope is that you will find that the magazine continues to provide fun and interesting material as it did in the past. There are some exciting pieces in this edition that I hope you will all enjoy.

With that said, I want to extend my deepest thanks to Jason Weiss, the prior editor in chief of this magazine. I want to thank him for his guidance during this transition and for his patience. Jason was an excellent editor and provided years of interesting material. I hope that I will continue to hold the Writs to the standards he established.

I also have to thank the amazing staff of the Bucks County Bar Association, specifically Greg Nardi, Emily Norman and Dylan Gilheany. Without them, this magazine simply would not happen. They provide vital assistance in its creation.

I also want to extend my thanks to our Bar Association President, Julie Goldstein. Julie’s enthusiasm and energy has provided unending support. Additionally, Julie’s creativity has helped spur ideas for future articles, which I am extremely grateful for.

I am extremely honored to be the editor of this magazine. I am extremely proud of the new voices that are highlighted in this edition, as well as the new Bar Association members that are given a spotlight. In this edition, there is an article dedicated to the newest member of our bench, the Honorable Stephen A. Corr. Welcome Judge Corr! As you can see, there are exciting things happening in the legal community of Bucks County and in the community at large.

I hope to see and meet many of the readers of this magazine at the upcoming events taking place at the Bar Association or in the community. The Bar Association has the Opening of the Assizes event scheduled for April 28th, with the theme of “Oh, the Places You’ll Go.” With Covid restrictions lifting and the beginning of the return to a sense of normalcy, there are so many places all of us would like to go. I know I have a list of places where I would like to go! I hope that many of you will attend this event as it promises to be very fun and likely very interesting.

Now, please enjoy the magazine! 
