Law professors are strongly
encouraged to spread the word about the contest to
their students.

The ABA Members Retirement
Program is designed to meet the retirement planning
needs of the legal community. Developed by the American
Bar Retirement Association, the Program delivers exactly
what law firms need:
Investment Flexibility
– A wide selection of professionally managed core
funds allow participants the opportunity to seek
their own investment goals. In addition, a self-directed
brokerage account option provides access to publicly
traded stocks, bonds and mutual funds.
Full-Service – The
Program provides law firms with a bundled service
package for investment management, trust and custody,
recordkeeping, tax reporting, discrimination testing
and participant communication and advice services.
Low Cost – With Program
assets totaling over $3 billion, the Program leverages
its size to deliver state-of-the-art services while
keeping costs low and eliminating out-of-pocket
charges.
For over 30 years, the Program
has addressed the needs of sole-practitioners and
large law firms across the country. The Program is
managed by State Street Bank & Trust and offers
a full range of tax-qualified plans including profit
sharing, pension, 401(k) and defined benefit plans.
