] states that NHBA dues from 1979-80 Bar year to the present "average out to be a little more than five dollars ($5.00) per year increase" and that during the same period "the Bar Association menu of services has greatly increased."
I find that to be somewhat misleading since the active Bar members in 1979-80 probably numbered no more than 1,200 and that currently there are approximately 4,600 active members. Those additional 3,400 active members account for an additional $918,000 of annual dues payments.
Based on that increase, I should hope that the Bar Association menu of services has greatly increased.
