handle is hein.barjournals/misly0015 and id is 1 raw text is: Official Monthly Publication of the Mississippi State Bar VOLUME XV JANUARY, 1968 Specialists Coming? The American Bar Association Board of Governors has authorized a new study to determine the feasibility of a national plan to recognize specialization in law practice. The committee will examine all aspects of specialization and methods for determining the qualifications of voluntary specialists for certification to the bar and public. The seven-member committee will be charged with preparing certification plans for con- sideration of the Board and House of Dele- gates, if it determines formal specialization is feasible at this time. The study will be the third since the House adopted a resolution approving specialization in principle in 1954. Earlier efforts failed to produce a definitive plan. ABA President Earl F. Morris appointed Chesterfield H. Smith of Tampa, Fla., form- er president ot The Florida Bar, to be chairman of the Committee on specializa- tion.
