The Five Things issue of the Clark County Bar’s journal Communiqué (Jan. 2023) is now available.
The Five Things issue offers an author the opportunity to highlight five things relevant to their chosen topic. Authors are to be quick, to the point, and to keep the length of their piece to less than 500 words. This restricted format is designed to keep the page count in check for the first issue (January) in our budgetary year. It has also proven to be a popular challenge for authors. They must choose only five things, stay focused, and address the topic within the restricted word count.
The issue features content written by members of the bar for members of the bar. See below for a list of featured articles, columns, and highlights.
