The ABA - Why Is It Important

I've been here at the ABA Family Law Section for the past few days.  I've picked up a few tidits of legal knowledge and practice information to directly help our clients here in the Trenches.  This ABA Section has its finger on the pulse of family law around the country.  We share that information at formal continuing education seminars, and also through informal conversations among the Section's members.  In fact, a lot of the value we here in the Trenches receive from these meetings comes from our interactions from other folks who do what we do.  We make personal connections in order to help our clients and colleagues locate competent counsel in other jurisdictions. We share practice tips so we can improve how we serve our clients, how we advise them and how we share information.  We also find out that we're not alone, that the struggles we face in helping our clients are shared by our colleagues, and we help each other address those issues and support each other.  All of this benefits our clients - here in the Trenches.
