Focus Groups Seek Suggestions on Improving the Profession
Focus groups are continuing to solicit Bar members’ input on conditions in the legal profession and how they can be improved. The focus groups are an integral part of the work of the NH Supreme Court’s Task Force on the Status of the Legal Profession.
All sessions are being held from 4:00 pm – 6:00 pm. Each group has a suggested focus (such as practice setting or area of law practice), but attorneys are invited to attend whichever session best fits their schedules. In addition to the following, additional sessions are being scheduled. The NHBA e-Bulletin will be used to announce added dates.
Tuesday, Oct. 25 - “Medium” Firm (5-14 lawyers), McLane Law Firm, Portsmouth.
Wednesday, Oct. 26 - “Large” Firm (over 15 lawyers), McLane Law Firm, Manchester.
Thursday, Oct. 27 - Civil Litigation, Pierce Law Center, Concord.
