Despite the very laudable intentions of their Program, I firmly believe the President must decline the honor of participating. The precedent-setting factor is paramount. Obviously, Arn.way's Bicentennial Program should be run by ARBA for their possible participation and coordination during Am.ways Annual Leadership Convention in Washington.

Their goal is to obtain the signatures of 20 millio:i Americans on copies of the De.claration of Independe.::ice as a syrri..bolic recommitmen.!: to the ideals of the document. ·whl.le the concept is good, this is being sponsored by DeVos, Van Andell and Amway Corporation.

  • 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.
