Originally prepared in 1997, it is based on Trust Accounting for Attorneys in Georgia which was written by Terri Olson during her term as Director of the Law Practice Management Program of the State Bar of Georgia. We are grateful for her help and for the State Bar of Georgia’s permission to create our own handbook based on the design of theirs. Rule 1.15 of the Alabama Rules of Professional Conduct, pertaining to safekeeping client property, and selected ethics opinions are included to provide further guidance.

If you have questions regarding the mechanics of trust account setup or bookkeeping, please contact the Practice Management Assistance Program at (334) 269-1515 or (800) 354-6154 (instate only).

  • Introduction
    INTRODUCTION Nationally, approximately 40% of new attorneys work at firms consisting of more than 50 lawyers. Therefore, a large percentage of practicing attorneys work for small firms (fewer than 50 attorneys). Small firms generally do not have formalized recruiting procedures or a set “hiring season” when they recruit summer law clerks, school-year law clerks, or entry-level attorneys. Instead, these firms hire on an as-needed basis, and they hire year round. To secure employment with a small firm, students and lawyers alike need to be proactive in getting their name and interests out in the community. Applicants should not only apply directly to these firms, but they should connect via law school, community, and bar association activities. In this directory, you will find state-by-state hyperlinks to regional directories, bar associations, newspapers, and job banks that can be used to jump-start a small firm search.
