Support in Trying Times:  What Solo and Small-Firm Lawyers Can Do For Ourselves, Each Other, Our Clients, and Our Community
 
We all know law practice is challenging.  We work with clients in crisis; we are ethical professionals with responsibilities not only to those clients, but to courts, adversaries, and the legal system; and we are businesspeople who have to keep the lights on and the doors open whether we have too much work or not enough.  We work closely with other lawyers, paralegals, and administrative professionals who become like family.  When a loss affects a client, or a fellow lawyer, it affects us all.

Getting through difficult times is hard; finding help shouldn't be.  Here in Minnesota, we have a robust set of resources to help lawyers going through difficult times.  We also have an extraordinary community known for stepping up and supporting its people.  This year, join us at the Solo and Small Firm Section's annual breakfast meeting to hear stories of how legal professionals have cared for themselves, their clients, and each other in times of crisis--from people who have been there.  Crises may be inevitable, but we don't have to get through them alone.

Breakfast and Registration: 8:00 - 8:15 a.m.
Annual Meeting and Elections: 8:15 - 8:30 a.m.
