This just in from Judge Hoar:
From: Hoar, Samuel <Samuel.Hoar@vtcourts.gov>
As you know, we are celebrating Judge Toor’s retirement on August 1. I have been part of the group that is organizing the party, and undertook to solicit names of possible speakers. As you can imagine, we’re not contemplating an open mic; if we did that, we could be there all night. Instead, I’m hoping to come up with a short list of lawyers and judges to share memories and plaudits. I wonder, therefore, if I could ask each of you to reach out to your respective bars to ask if any of your members would like to be on the list. You and they should understand that I can’t promise to include everyone who might want to speak, and that they shouldn’t take it as a slight if they are not chosen.
Anyone who is interested should feel free to contact me at this email address. I will get back to everyone as promptly as possible.
Cheers,
Samuel Hoar, Jr. (he/him)
