Practice Management

I do not necessarily do ,although I have attended meetings in the distant past and I certainly do not have a problem with anybody else that does join and attend these organizations.  Although it is obvious that most lawyers do not explore this possibility you have to wonder why.  Why not feel comfortable with those that think like you in many ways?  Maybe it should be at least a casual relationship that all of us should consider.

Jewish attorneys have organizations such as the American Association of Jewish Lawyers and Jurists, the International Association of Jewish Lawyers And Jurists, and the Jewish Lawyers Guild among others.

Catholics have the American Catholic Lawyers Association, The International Catholic Lawyers Society, the Catholic Lawyers Society, and the Catholic Lawyers Guild among others.

Protestants generally have more general Christian organizations such as ChristianLawyers.Com, the Christian Legal Society, Christian Trial Lawyers Association, among others.

Muslim's have the National Association of Muslim Lawyer (NAML), the Muslim Bar Association of New York (MBANY), the Muslim Bar Association of Chicago, and the Bay Area Association of Muslim Lawyers (BAAML) among others.

After all, the practice of law and the make up of lawyers are not divorced from the concept of faith.  We trust and worship our God, although maybe in different ways and among a number of different religions.  But, we do have faith in common, or that confident belief and trust in the truth and trustworthiness of God.  Why should we not explore that more deeply?  Why should we, in our own way, not try to feel more comfortable in fellowship with those that believe as we do?

Of course I think we all have to strive better to be more tolerant of others that do not necessarily believe as we do, but there is nothing wrong with associating with others that do believe as we do.
