FORMAL REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE ON
AMERICAN BAR ASSOCIATION RELATIONS
The Committee on ABA Relations met on Tuesday, October 12, at 1:30 p.m. in the Hyatt Grand Cypress
Hotel. Those attending were: James W. Bartlett, III, David G. Davies, Paul S. Edelman, George D. Gabel, Jr.,
George W. Healy, III, Brett Mason, and President Howard M. McCormack.
Those present discussed how best to coordinate the various ABA committees dealing with maritime law,
including the Young Lawyers Committee and the TIPS Committee. All present were aware of the problem, were
concerned as to lack of coordination, but could think of no ready solution to the problem. It was agreed that those
present would talk to their MLA and ABA acquaintances about the problem and potential solutions, and be prepared
to discuss the results of their research at the May meeting in New York.
Respectfully submitted,
George W. Healy, III, Chair
