Senior Lawyers

The purpose of this page is to provide information which is interesting and useful to attorneys who have reached a point in their professional career where they are undergoing a change from the full time practice of law. The change may be to retirement, semi-retirement, pro bono activities, civic service or a new career outside of the practice of law
