It’s a Small World
In these increasingly tough economic times, there is more opportunity than danger for the ABA. If history is any guide, our association should weather the current economic storm without incurring major damage. Over the past two decades, our membership has remained remarkably constant. It has never dipped below 340,000 practicing lawyers. This year, it is 352,000. If we do see a decline in revenue, we have contingency plans in place to reduce our expenses proportionately.
