Make a Holiday Donation to the 10th Cir.'s Historical Society

To get into the spirit of giving this holiday season, why not give back to the Tenth Circuit by making a charitable contribution to the Historical Society of the Tenth Judicial Circuit?

As we all know, the lawyers and judges of the Tenth Circuit have a rich history. Becoming a member or making a small contribution to the society can help to preserve and promote the legal community and public's understanding of the role of the circuit.

Tenth Circuit's Historical Society

The goal of the Society is to promote awareness of federal courts in the Tenth Circuit, their function, and history by:

• Assisting in the preservation of items of historical significance, including the Byron White Collection;
• Assisting in the collection of materials related to court history;
• Presenting programs at state bar association meetings;
• Sponsoring programs and lectures in the courthouse;
• Delivering presentations at local schools;
• Planning sessions at the biennial Tenth Circuit Judicial Conference;
• Supporting publication of articles about the development of federal courts, including histories of specific events or cases as well as biographies or oral histories of judges and distinguished lawyers; and
• Developing permanent or traveling exhibits.
