As a lawyer, it sometimes seems that everyone and everything is demanding your time and attention: job, family, friends, and personal life. In addition, when you are a lawyer of color, there is added pressure to be a visible and active part of your community as well. It is understandable, therefore that lawyers of color must exercise some selectivity in the activities they choose to pursue or support. In choosing among the myriad of professional activities and organizations competing for your limited time and resources, we want to remind you about the many advantages and opportunities that membership in the American Bar Association offers.
