 Welcome to the
79th Judicial Conference of the Fourth Circuit IMPORTANT NOTICE ABOUT YOUR GREENBRIER STAY: Please be aware that our routine post-conference audit revealed an accounting error in the room package allocation by the Greenbrier. We have worked closely with the Greenbrier's accounting manager to reconcile the breakdown of charges against our contract, and the hotel is now in the process of making the necessary adjustments. An updated folio will be sent to the email address used to confirm your reservation, and a credit will be issued to your credit card. The Conference Program Committee, representing the State of North Carolina, welcomes you to the 79th Judicial Conference of the Fourth Circuit. Each Conference offers the opportunity to reconnect with friends and welcome new colleagues, as well as engage in discussion that advances the administration of justice and promotes the long-standing tradition of collegiality within the Circuit. We hope that you find this year's program to be both engaging and relevant.
