Chair's Message
 |
| T. Maxfield Bahner Chair, Senior Lawyers Division |
Welcome to the Senior Lawyers Division of the American Bar Association. While we are known as the “Senior Division” membership is open to all members of the ABA of any age who are interested in the subject of Elder Law.
Through our committees we are engaged in many interesting things related to the practice of law and alternatives to law practice. While most of our members are active in law practice some have reached the point in their careers where they have cut back substantially and some have retired. Wherever you are along the continuum, whether a law student, a young lawyer interested in Elder Law or a senior lawyer, you will find great pleasure in the relationships in our Division.
We invite you to learn more about us and to join with us. We have good times together!
