2025 Annual Appellate Advocacy Seminar

BAFFC Mourns the Passing of Longtime Board Member, Don Richard

It is with great sadness that BAFFC announces the passing of our friend and fellow Board member, Don Richard. Richard, a Charter Governor, served as the Treasurer since the Association’s founding in 1984 and has been a mainstay of the organization for the past forty years. We are thankful for his longstanding service, friendship, guidance and wisdom, always serving as a welcoming leader for the Board and Association in general. BAFFC board members will remember Richard as kind, gracious, a lovely person, a gentleman, and an integral part of the development and success of BAFFC. He will be greatly missed by the Fifth Circuit family.
