Buddies? I know no member of the Board of Directors, and do not believe I know a member of the ABA.

The ABA is merely a prime example of O'Sullivan's First Law.

Those folks, and their ilk, are no-ones friends.

So are you some kind of right to litigate group and not a union member. Stinkin' scabs!

Very true. I had to look this up. I was expecting to find something pertaining to the perspective of drunken Irishmen, but the truth is very fitting!

The ABA are professional circle-jerkers. For the entry fee for one year, one could get a life membership to the NRA, GOA and SAF. Well, almost.

They do nothing of use to anyone who actually works in the profession.



Cf. ISBA for the local equivalent, equally useless and self-aggrandizing.

I remember the great consternation when apparently the world discovered that the ABA might just be leftists. The political talking class finally noticed that according to the ABA, leftist judges with no qualifications were all highly qualified while conservative judges with outstanding credentials were all less than qualified.

 

[Leadeye]

Been that way for a long time, it's another one of those pseudo representative, dc centered groups.

 

[Twangbanger]

Think about it. The Queen "B." about to become President 1) is a lawyer, 2) has a history of wanting to sue gun companies and dealers, and 3) is proposing legislation to increase the number of people who can be sued when guns are used in crime. I'm sure the ABA recognizes a business-expanding policy when they see it.

My apologies to you, Kirk And any other INGO lawyers that I may have offended. I realize that you are a slightly different breed than the lawyers that are advertising every 5 minutes on TV, unless I'm mistaken.

I did not realize until I read this article that the ABA was a liberal political entity, and that membership was not ubiquitous among lawyers. I just hadn't given it any thought. Thanks for the clarification.

BTW in case anyone got the wrong impression, Im a sarcastic cuss.

 

[HoughMade]

I'm not offended. I'm not entirely sure I can be offended.

Like the AMA for doctors, the ABA is just a voluntary organization that paints itself as the voice of a profession. Neither organization is.

There are around 1.2 million lawyers in The U.S. Around 400,000 are ABA members, but honestly, that sounds high. If it weren't for governmental entities paying the dues of lawyer employees, I wonder how many members they would have. Take away the slightly discounted life and health insurance....

Yet the ABA has a monopoly in law school accreditation because most states will not let people take the bar if they did not graduate from an ABA approved school.

The AMA has about 220,000 members of the 920,000 physicians in the U.S.

It's kind of like how the AARP operates.

In all honestly, I don't think I know a single practicing attorney who is a member.

 

[T.Lex]

I was a member for a few years as a young attorney (mid-90s) but then realized how out of touch it was with everyone who wasn't an ACLU litigator. Was kinda forced to rejoin when a major firm I was with was very active in it, but they covered the cost, so no biggie.

I think Kirk, T. Lex, and HoughMade should start their own group. With blackjack and Hookers!

I don't imbibe, but you can take care of that part. I'm in.
