BAR-0-METER - DEC 2022 Page 2From the PresidentAaron BreitenbachHappy HolidaysFor most of us, December is a month full of traditions and special memories of the past. However you celebrate this month,I hope you and your family are able to enjoy meaningful time together in good health and fellowship.As for the Breitenbach home, we spent recent weeks experiencing our son Gabe’s senior year. The big decision on the tableis where he will be attending college. Visits to Georgia and Arkansas are behind us and we await this first big decision of hislife, charting his own path beyond our nest. As a parent, there are certain milestones that drive home the fact you aregetting older and having a child move away is surely one of them. Beyond the passage of years, you start to realize how different you are from when you left for college. In talking with Gabeand visiting college campuses, I am reminded of all the things I worried about then that now are of little concern. I nowknow I was right about what I wanted to be when I grew up, and I will have some measure of success at it. I know I can makenew friends in new places and one of them will even want to share her life with me. I know I will make my family proud andstart and sustain a family of my own. While money will always be an issue, I now can afford to diversify my menu beyondRamen, macaroni and cheese, and Pizza Shuttle (apparently I survived college entirely on carbs). And while it feels good to reflect on how far I have come, I also am realizing I am no longer part of the next generation. I maynot be one of the oft-maligned “boomers,” but I tend to take their side in arguments more often than college-aged Aaronwould have. Not that I was ever much of a rebel, but I grew up in favor of sticking it to the man. Now, if you scrolled downfar enough on a Google search for “the man,” you’d probably find my picture. When I started in our office, I enjoyed makingfun of that old man, Tom Weilert. I’m now older than he was at that point (and he now has more hair than I do). If you’re still reading this self-indulgent meandering, yes, I am getting somewhere.I am now at a point where I have to decide whether I’m going to be the “get off my yard” guy. I could continue to decry howthe latest generation is different from how I recall my friends and I were, and insist younger attorneys have the samepriorities and perspectives that shaped my career. Or, I could recognize this generation is different from mine, shaped bytheir own priorities and perspectives. At the latest Bar-o-Meter committee meeting, I learned of a local firm’s efforts to help bridge the age gap between theiremployees. I gather most of it focused on embarrassing the partners with their attempts to interpret the acronyms, terms,and emojis commonly used by younger staff. For example, while I consider myself pretty hip for using emojis to quickly replyto texts, I learned that sending a single thumb up emoji is akin to the middle finger, while two thumbs up is an affirmation.[For those who continue to receive a single thumb from me, please know I mean no offense…except Steve Ariagno…Ivaguely recall he called me out in a softball or President’s column 20 years ago, so he’s getting the single thumb fo’ sho’.] Jokes aside, it’s clear the decades that separate some of our lives’ experiences shape us in ways far less trivial. It’s a truismthat younger people should learn from their elders, but how effective can that learning be if the mentor isn’t willing torespect the new experiences and expectations of the mentee? The best teachers in my life treated me as a colleague andsought to learn from and about me as I learned from them. My best learning comes from accepting my inexperience andwelcoming the opportunity to benefit from the experiences of others. Having repeatedly written about the need to overcome our differences and come together as a profession, perhaps one waywe can do that is to work to understand someone’s perspective who is not part of our generation. Perhaps that can be thefirst step in preserving the best of our legal traditions for generations to come.

Get to know Braxton a little more:Hometown:Ulysses, KsHow did you do Harvard and high school simultaneously? Tell us about the application process and yourcoursework there. I took my first class at Harvard in 2013. I then began taking the prerequisite courses to become a degree candidate.Essentially, you take a test which you need to pass, then you have to have a B in three separate gatekeeper courses.The coursework was incredibly varied from Math to Ancient Greek Literature to Legal Studies. I ended up with aconcentration in Government with a minor in English.Tell us about your extracurricular activities.In high school I was involved with tennis, debate, Scholar’s Bowl, forensics, and Student Council. In law school Iparticipated in AAJ mock trial.Tell us about your law school experience. How old were you when you started and when you graduated?Most memorable experience (both academically and personally)?I was 17 when I started and 19 when I graduated law school. It was a cool experience, albeit unique given Covid.The most memorable experience was probably the first semester, getting acquainted with both the law and otherstudents.What led you to this career? Did you always envision yourself becoming an attorney? If not, what did youwant to be? The government concentration certainly made law school a reasonable next step after graduation, which I think ledme to this point. It seemed like the next logical step, although my primary interest remains in government.Tell us about starting your position as an attorney. What’s been the most interesting experience in yourpractice so far?The first few months of being an attorney have been memorable. I think the most interesting experience has beenmeeting with some of the clients. Hearing legitimate stories that aren’t hypotheticals truly reframes how you feelabout the law.What is the first thing you are going to do when you turn 21?I don’t really have any plans for when I turn 21. I will most likely just order a pizza with my family.How do you spend your free time? Hobbies?I spend time playing video games, watching movies, and hanging out with my two cats.Favorite TV show? Favorite book/last book you readMy favorite TV show is Psych. The last book I read was probably some sort of bar preparation book.Page 7BAR-0-METER - DEC 2022The Wichita Bar Association Welcomes Youngest Attorney in America:Braxton MoralIf you don’t know Braxton Moral yet, let us introduce you to the Nation’s youngestattorney and a member of the Wichita Bar Association. Braxton has made aname for himself for several years. He first received nationwide accolades forhaving graduated from high school and Harvard at the same time! He isreportedly the only student in Harvard history to graduate from the universityand high school at the same time. But apparently, he needed more challengesand enrolled in law school at Washburn University. Braxton graduated from lawschool and passed that bar in 2022 at the age of 19, making him the youngestattorney in the United States. Now Braxton joins the ranks of Depew Gillen. Butif you haven’t had a chance to come across him yet, you can always just watch theKelly Clarkson Show that featured Braxton!

Hisfamily and friends from the legal community gathered to pay tribute to Lee, who was the epitome of a strongleader, and he made it a mission in life to advance the legal institution. Lee believed in the rule of law, what itstood for, and the attorneys who practiced it. He was a leader who loved to provide opportunities to expand thelearning capabilities of his colleagues and took great pride in the Sedgwick County Law Library. As a former president of the Wichita Bar Association, Lee received all the awards provided except the volunteeraward. His leadership is imprinted throughout the organization. His goal was to raise the quality of law practicein the Wichita Bar Association. He accomplished much by restricting all of the committees, worked with a CPAfirm to computerize WBA financial records, and developed the Bar-o-Meter into a professional magazine format.He worked diligently to breathe life into the CLE structure and coined the phrase “Buy WBA.” The Sedgwick County Law Library Board of Trustees was honored to approve the memory of Lee HoustonWoodard with the dedication of the technology center. Lee will be missed, but his work will remain in the heartsand minds of those he served in the legal community.

Nicholas W. Klein, aged 93, of Golden, Colorado, passed away of natural causes on October 23rd, 2022. Nick was born on October 3rd,1929, the eldest son of Walter and Helen Klein in Steinauer, Nebraska. He is survived by brothers Myron of Olathe, Kansas; John ofSalida, Colorado; wife Suzanne Phillips-Klein of Golden, Colorado; sons Thomas of Wichita, Kansas; and Eric of Chapman, Kansas, aswell as a large number of relatives throughout the country comprising his extended family.In his youth, upon eligibility, he enlisted in the Army Air Corps (the precursor to the Air Force) in 1946 and took advantage of thewartime benefits to advance his education, completing his bachelor’s degree in History and Government from Kansas State in 1953 andobtaining his law degree from Washburn in 1955. Fiercely loyal, he remained involved in the Air Force throughout his life, ultimatelyretiring from the Air Force Reserve in 1985 at the rank of Colonel.Displaying a determination that was a hallmark of his personality, he pursued his legal career in Kansas. He spent parts of five decades invarious roles, most notably a period of 20 years as Judge in the Sedgwick County District Court, Division 8, and he was ultimatelyassigned a term on the Kansas Supreme Court in September 1989, where he authored two published opinions. His position as DistrictCourt Judge was determined via election and he was a devoted Democrat throughout his lifetime. His status in the legal professionbrought him into the orbit of many social and political luminaries, ranging from former United States Presidents to notable Hollywooddirectors.Following his retirement from the bench, he embarked on a new chapter in his life, marrying for the second time and moving toGolden, Colorado, where he spent the remainder of his post-judicial life. He was able to enjoy the benefits of retirement and focus onleisure, charitable and volunteer interests.In lieu of flowers or memorials, donations can be made to the Judge Nicholas W. Klein Memorial Foundation through theWichita Bar Association, 225 N. Market Wichita, KS 67202.I had the pleasure of appearing before theHonorable Nicholas Klein “Nick” onhundreds of occasions. One memorable trialwas a 6-week product liability case ‘poliovaccine’ before him against Gerald Michaud.The case was highly publicized, and thecourtroom was full of spectators andtelevision and newspaper reporters. It was ahard-fought trial, yet Nick kept everyone inline. His wit and sense of humor were on fulldisplay. I also knew Nick on a personal basis.He loved to shoot pool and was a frequentvisitor of several blue-collar dives. He neveracted like he was better than anyone. Hehated it if anyone called him “Judge” or“Your Honor." He played fair in life and incourt. I will deeply miss him. Nick alwaysexercised and skiing was his passion. On oneoccasion when we were skiing in Colorado,he told me he loved the mountains more thananything. I believed it. He skied fearlessly.Larry WallLarry Wall Trial LawBAR-0-METER - DEC 2022 Page 13Judge Nick Klein was an important mentorduring my early career. He was a brilliantand efficient judge, but one always willing tohelp a young litigator “learn the ropes.”With a sharp sense of humor and a keen eyefor practical solutions, he was known forfinding the shortest distance between twopoints and “cutting to the chase.” I tried oneof my earliest cases to Judge Klein, whonavigated novel legal and factual issues andcourteously led counsel and witnessesthrough a difficult case. I will always begrateful for his understanding and guidance.Also, he was a retired Air Force reserve JudgeAdvocate who followed my reserve militarycareer with enthusiasm and encouragement. Iremember him congratulating me upon mypromotion to Major with the comment that Ihad achieved a “gentleman’s rank.” We misshim on the court. Kenneth G. GaleUnited States Magistrate JudgeUnited States District Court for the Districtof KansasI was so sorry to hear of Judge Klein's passing. Ifirst met Judge Klein when I was in college andworking part-time as a sales clerk at a store hefrequented. We were both prior military andwe would discuss our prior service. Judge Kleinencouraged me to attend law school. After Ireturned to Wichita, my first trial was withJudge Klein and he gave me a lot of goodpointers about trying cases. He continued tomentor me for the next several years and Ienjoyed trying cases in his court because he wasa no-nonsense Judge who ran an efficient andon-time courtroom. I remember how pleasedhe was after he was promoted to full colonel inthe Air Force reserve. He showed me his wareagle, which he used as a tie tack, which is aneagle with the head pointed toward the arrowsinstead of the olive branch. I was sorry to seehim retire but I know he really enjoyedretirement.John NodgaardHonorable Nicholas "Nick" Klein
