Dear Division Member:
Below is the third issue of Law Trends for
the 2007–08 bar year. As always, this is a very
exciting issue, and I am very happy to present it to
you. As with prior issues, this e-newsletter includes
articles, checklists, and other valuable practice information
and practical tips, all from each of our substantive
practice areas in the General
Practice, Solo & Small Firm Division. This issue
also highlights some emerging areas, some interesting
checklists, and much more.
In this issue, there is also a portion of a newly published
book about giving representation and counseling to small
corporations. This book not only covers most issues attorneys
will face while representing a small company but also
has a CD containing most forms attorneys will need in
that representation. Please take a look at the article;
if you like what you see, you can then click through
to purchase the book.
With this issue, Law Trends is now in its fourth
year. We hope you agree that with each edition, Law
Trends continues to provide meaningful articles
for each of you and continues to improve. We trust that
this edition, like the others, continues to be helpful
to you in your daily practice. I encourage you to take
just a few moments to read the list of articles included
below. Of course, it is yours to download and keep as
a reference for the future. And, as in the past, you
can either download specific articles, or you may download
the entire newsletter by clicking the PDF
link.
There are many Division members integrally involved
in putting this e-newsletter together. Their hard work
and dedication are certainly present. I thank them for
producing this issue for the Division.
I hope each of you enjoys this issue of Law Trends.
The publication will continue quarterly, and we hope
you continue to find it a source of valuable information.
If you are interested in either writing an article or
participating in the production of the newsletter, please
contact Jim Schwartz at attyjls@aol.com.
I hope to see you at the ABA Annual Meeting in New York!
Best regards,
Keith B. McLennan
Chair, General Practice, Solo & Small Firm Division
