Dear Fellow New Lawyers,
I know that as new lawyers, we are not the ones with our
names on the door (most of the time).
Many of us are associates at small or mid-sized firms. Hopefully, we are taking advantage of the
educational programs, mentoring, and networking opportunities that MAJ offers -
and offers better than any other organization, in my humble opinion. At the very least, hopefully we are all participating
on the list serves. If you haven't
posted your own questions yet, I imagine you've learned something from someone
else's. So, here's a question for you -
are you participating in advocacy?
MAJ's mission is to improve the civil justice system
through legislative advocacy and the professional development of attorneys who
represent the injured. Do you understand
why that is so important? Better yet, do
you know why it's important for you, as new lawyers, to be involved at whatever
level you can? If not, would you be
interested in coming to a breakfast to learn about this stuff and ways you can
make a difference? Please let me know
and we will make that happen!
Yesterday, I sent an invitation from Bruce Plaxen for a
fundraiser for Anthony Brown. Any New
Lawyer can attend for just $100. Please
take advantage of this opportunity. To learn more, contact me.
Great article, thank you for sharing. I've found this article very interesting. I've recently discovered Tony Charalambides fundraising blog - he has some great articles, you should check it out.
