    August 6, 2020 Honorable Nathan L. Hecht President, Conference of Chief Justices c/o Association and Conference Services 300 Newport Avenue Williamsburg, VA 23185-4147 RE: Bar Examinations and Lawyer Licensing During the COVID-19 Pandemic Dear Chief Justice Hecht: On behalf of the American Bar Association (ABA), the largest voluntary association of lawyers and legal professionals in the world, I write to urge the Conference of Chief Justices (CCJ) to prioritize the development of a national strategy for bar examinations and lawyer licensing for the thousands of men and women graduating law school during the COVID-19 pandemic. This is a temporary change and only as necessary to address the public health and safety issues presented during this crisis without closing the doors to our shared profession. In particular, we recommend that this national strategy urge each jurisdiction to cancel in-person bar examinations during the pandemic unless they can be administered in a safe manner; establish temporary measures to expeditiously license recent law school graduates and other bar applicants; and enact certain practices with respect to the administration of remote bar examinations. We appreciate that some jurisdictions may have already taken some action, such as modifying the bar examination dates or setting or temporarily modifying their admission or practice rules. But the failure of all jurisdictions to take appropriate action presents a crisis for the future of the legal profession that will only cascade into future years. Earlier this week, the ABA House of Delegates discussed this important subject and heard from many different stakeholders within the legal profession, including concerns from the National Conference of Bar Examiners.

  • Hurricane Katrina: the Legal Impact While Others Try to Service Everyone Under the Sun
    October 2006 Volume 12 Number 2 Hurricane Katrina: The Legal Impact While others try to service everyone under the sun. We ensure Georgia lawyers have it made in the shade. If there’s one thing insurance companies should have learned, it’s that if you try to be all things to all people, you’re going to get burned. That’s why, over the past few years, so many of them have left the state —and left their clients high and dry. At the same time, Georgia Lawyers Insurance Company has been solid, stable and continues to provide the best service, rates and advice for lawyers and law firms in the state. In fact, our aim is nothing less than to be the best, and the best name means premium coverage. So if you’re ready for an insurance company that provides the personal service you deserve and writes policies that best fit your needs, call the brightest company around.
