Small Firm Mailing
Recognizing
that the practitioners in solo and small firm (under 20 members)
represent a large portion of attorneys practicing in New York State,
the Trust developed a mailing that was sent along with a calendar
card to about 30,000 attorneys across the State. The cards contained
information on the lawyer assistance programs and committees at
the State and local level. The Trust recognizes the cooperation
of the New York State Bar Association and the Association of the
Bar of the City of New York on this project.
