              President's Message
                   Jeff Cohan


I DON'T OFTEN QUOTE Bob Dylan in
a professional setting, but it's time to
start swimmin'or you'll sink like a
stone, for the times they are a-changin'.
As your professional organization, our
goal at LLAGNY is to help you navigate
the terrain ahead. Fundamental changes
in the economy, politics, and technology
present new challenges and new
opportunities for us all. Our education,
student relations, government relations,
and pro bono committees are leading the
way and racing ahead of the curve for us
all. Meanwhile our other committees
continue to maintain the fundamental
strengths contributing to the operation of
our oreanization.


Fall 2008


The changing economy has made it more
difficult for many firms to generate
business and has already resulted in
some right sizing, and has put a
premium on competitive strategy. At the
same time, the most recent pass rate on
the New York Bar was 91%. The
changing economy also has had some
effect on the finances of the academic
community, i.e., endowments, etc.
Likewise, state and federal court budgets
are also affected, as are the finances of
our vendors.

Political changes in Washington will
likely result in significant changes
affecting the legal landscape. New
agency administration will likely lead to
new regulation and judicial
appointments might well change the way
law is interpreted.
