Proud to Be a Lawyer

Week of September 1, 2003

Dennis Archer, 2003-2004 ABA President

"Within our Association, we are blessed to have first rate Sections and Divisions that keep their members and our Association on the "cutting edge" of our practice areas as they produce outstanding publications and CLE programs. Our state and local bar associations keep us informed of issues that may go national. Our work is our strength—and our strength comes from the exceptional members of the American Bar Association who work tirelessly—not only to improve the legal profession and justice system, but to make the world a better place. That's what ABA members do. I respectfully ask each ABA member to recruit a new member to join our ABA family."
