Only in the Bar Association do the extravagant promises common to the business world come true. In the photographs our handsome President - first nonplussed, then astonished, then pleased - receives from Robert Rodruck, Jr., a check for $5,657.00 as a life insurance dividend accruing by reason of low loss experience. It is being paid ratably to the life insurance subscribers of the Bar Plan. More of the Bar should take heed. Photographs by John D. McLauchlan, Chairman of the Travel Committee, which enterprise also has yet to miss paying a dividend. George H. Bovingdon, Chairman Insurance Committee LAWYER PLACEMENT SERVICE AVAILABLE The Lawyer Placement Service, spon- sored by the Young Lawyers' Committee, wishes to bring this service to the attention of the Bar. The Placement files are available at the Bar Association Office in Seattle. This Service can assist attorneys interested in a new association, as well as those desiring to employ new associates. The local business community also is encouraged to make use of this service when in need of persons with legal training. The Service consists of two parts. The Applicants' File contains resumes of attor- neys seeking new positions. The Employers' File lists available opportunities. Interested parties are encouraged to list themselves in the one file and to examine the other. The availability of a confidential listing should not be overlooked. The File can be set up to present a description of the avail- able resume or opportunity without making public the identity of the listor. Inquiries can be channeled to the person or firm making the confidential listing who then is free to answer those inquiries which interest him. For further information, contact either the Washington State Bar Association Office in Seattle or Robert A. Castrodale, Chair- man, Lawyer Placement Service, 812 North- ern Life Tower, Seattle 98101. GRANT COUNTY BAR ELECTS Ralph Kenilson, Moses Lake. has heen elected president of the Grant County Bar Association. Other new officers are Robert Gibson, Quincy, vice-president, and James Strong, Moses Lake, secretary-treasurer. WASHINGTON STATE BAR ASSOCIATION Legislative Program 1967 Legislative Session The following measures have been ap- proved by the Board of Governors and are being supported by the Bar Association be- fore the 1967 Session: 1. S.J.R. 7 - Constitutional Amendment on Presidential Inability and Vice-Presiden- tial Vacancy. This amendment to the Federal Consti- tution, sponsored by the American Bar As- sociation, has now been approved by the Washington Legislature, as the 32nd state. It needs six more for ratification. 2. S.J.R. 6 - Revision of Judicial Article to Authorize Creation of Court of Appeals, and Implementing Legislation. These proposed measures were prepared by the Association's Committee for Revision of the Judicial Article, and are the result of its study and work over a period of three years, terminating with submission to all members of the Bar for comments last fall. The amendment would authorize the Leg- islature to set up a Court of Appeals, define its jurisdiction, number of judges, terms, salaries, method of selection, etc. The implementing legislation would carry the above into effect, if the amendment is ratified at the November 1968 election. The need for relief of our Supreme Court from its present and growing workload seems imperative. 3. H.B. 119 - Central Recording of Mar- riage and Divorce Statistics. The American Bar Association's Marri- age Law Committee strongly recommends this legislation. It points out that Washington A.T.L.A. TO HOLD SEMINAR ON PERSUASION J. Donald Curran, president of the Wash- ington State Trial Lawyers Association, an- nounces that the American Trial Lawyers Association and its Washington affiliate will sponsor a one-day seminar on The Art of Persuasion in Litigation on Saturday, Feb. ruary 18 at the Olympic Hotel, Seattle. Advance registration may he made by sending $25.00, together with complete name and address, to Director of Seminars, Ameri- can Trial Lawyers Association, 6 Beacon St., Boston, Massachusetts 02108. Registration at the door will commence at 8:00 a.m. and the program will start promptly at 9:00 a.m. The registration fee includes a copy of The Art of Persuasion in Litigation Handbook. Curran stated the program will feature some of the nation's foremost trial attorneys. He invites all Washington state lawyers to attend regardless of whether they represent the plaintiff or the defendant. is now one of only 10 states without it. The desirability of finding such informa- tion in one, rather than thirty-nine places, is obvious. 4. S.B. 76 - Model Non-Profit Corporation Act. The Association sponsored this act (then H.B. 263) at the 1965 Session. It is much needed to complete the Bar's work in the cor- porate field, and to bring order out of chaos in our non-profit statutory law. It would en- large and clarify and take the place of the three present separate confusing acts (RCW 24.04, 24.08 and 24.16).
