handle is hein.journals/flwnwsltr11 and id is 1 raw text is: The Family La Newslette qw (formerly The Family Lawyer) Annual Meeting Harry X. Cole of Chicago, Chairman of the Practicing Lawyer Committee, concluded the Annual Meeting program on The Distorted Image of the Family Lawyer by noting that we should remember that lawyers are now and historically have been leaders in all community service areas, and persons to whom others turn in time of trouble. Consequently, we should enhance our image by being more aware of the professional responsibility to uphold the dignity of man under the protective aegis of the law .. In conjunction with the ABA Committee on Economics of Law Practice, the Family Law Section participated in a program entitled Economics of the Family Lawyer-How to Increase Efficiency and Income. Mrs. Louise B. Raggio, of Dallas, Chairman of the Liasion Committee, distributed questionaires to those in attendance. Of those who responded, the vast majority were in general practice but some came from almost every area of specialization, including taxation. In general,, the program received ratings of excellent and good, largely the former, and most respondents felt it had helped them with their particular management problems. Those responding also requested the American Bar Assocaition and the Family Law Section to present more programs and publish more articles on this subject. The panel for the program Modern Trends in Adoption Procedures: Agency Vs. Non-Agency planned and moder- ated by Felix Infausto of New York, discussed in a compre- hensive and interesting manner all aspects of the merits and weaknesses of both agency and non-agency adoptions.
