Good and Executive Director Deena R. Ehrlich are pleased to receive a wonderful gift, a replica of Domus, from WMA Graphics in honor of the Domus 75th Anniversary. Looking on are Robert G. Frein and Stacy Lazzara from WMA Graphics. By ROBERT J. RANDELL ew members, old members and prospective member guests had a great time at Domus on the Lawn this year. This increasingly popular, iree, outdoor barbecue and end-of-summer cele- bration, was held on the Association's front lawn on Thursday, September 7, for the seventh consecutive successful year. Newcomers who attended felt right at home. The warm, genuine welcoming atmosphere that was present is the partic- ular hallmark of the Nassau County Bar Association when it meets at Domus, its home. With the addition of delightful music, plenty of good food and drink-and even an ice cream bar from the Good Humor man - everyone went home with full feelings all around. Domus on the Lawn is a special event of the Association. It is focused on member- ship. The evening affords an opportunity See DOMUS, Page 27 NCBA Task Force on lawyer advertising By HON. LANCE D. CLARKE On June 15, 2006, the New York State Unified Court System announced that sweeping changes to the rules pertaining to advertising in the Lawyer's Code of Professional Responsibility had been approved for public comment by the four Presiding Justices of the Appellate Division. The period for public comment expires Sept. 15, 2006. According to the press release issued by the Office of Court Administration, the pro- posed amendments include the following: * A 30-day moratorium on soliciting wrongful death or personal injury clients, protecting families suffering loss from overly aggressive marketing. A ban on using testimonials by current clients or paid endorsements. Restrictions on using statements likely to create an expectation about results U~ rresloeni-cleci Lance U. ilarme eaos ine NCBA Task Force on Lawyer Advertising. or that compare the lawyer's services with those of other lawyers. * The expansion of rules to cover com- puter and Internet-based advertising See TASK FORCE, Page 21 Vol. 56, No. 1 Calling all lawyers: NCBA externs need you By MARC C. CANN Last year, NCBA Past President Christopher McGrath was instrumental in forging a relationship with Hofstra and Touro Law Schools by developing an extern- ship program with those schools. Law stu- dents received credit from their respective law school for working in a local law firm for the semester devoting 20 hours per week in the office. Students were additionally required to participate in an extern class and accumulate 25 pages of written materi- al for the semester. The program was designed to encourage young lawyers to stay on Long Island after graduation by developing relationships between the students, local lawyers and the Nassau County Bar Association. In addi- tion, the program's goal was also to seek out and encourage minority students to stay on Long Island and become active members of the Bar Association. The program was a huge success, at least in developing a rela- tionship between the law schools, law stu- dents, local lawyers, and the Nassau County Bar Association. Last year approxi- mately eight students participated in the fall semester. That number blossomed to approximately forty students in the spring semester. The lawyers of NCBA who partic- ipated in the externship program last year were thrilled with the students and the quality of work they produced.

ROBINS On Sept. 28, 2006, the Theodore Roosevelt Chapter of the American Inns of Court wilt host its annual dinner at Domus, the home of our Association, honoring Samuel A. Alito, Jr., the newest Associate Justice sitting on the United States Supreme Court. Justice Alito was nomi- nated as an Associate Justice of the Supreme Court by President George W. Bush and was sworn in on Jan. 31, 2006. He previously served as ajudge of the United States Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit, having been appointed by President George Bush in 1990. The Theodore Roosevelt Inn of Court is a chapter of the American Inns of Court, an organization dedicated to the enhancement of civility, ethics and legal excellence in the prac- tice of law. At the dinner, president-elect Lois Carter Schlissel will be sworn in, replacing- out-going president, Hon. Ira B. Warshawsky. At this time, seats for the dinner are not available. However, if seats later become available, an e-mail will be sent to members of the Bar Association.
