The meeting will be May 14 at the Biltmore Hotel in Los Angeles and will be held in conjunction with the spring meeting of the Section's governing Council, slated for May 14-15 at the Biltmore. Metropolitan Los Angeles has over 5,000 lawyers but fewer than 200 belong to the Criminal Justice Sec- tion, said David Melnick of Mil- waukee, chairman of the Section's Membership Committee. Melnick said a number of non- Section members who are leaders in the area's criminal justice system will participate in the one-day program, which will focus on the potential impact of lawyers from all segments of the criminal justice system working together in one organization. Part of the day will be spent in ob- serving the Council deliberations, he said. A heavy agenda faces the Coun- cil. (See pages 6-7 for a summary of committee reports to the Council.) Melnick said that a December demographic study of Section mem- bership shows that over half of all members are under 35 and practice in urban areas. He said a telephone poll conducted by his committee shows Section membership has declined somewhat over the past two years because of a growing disinterest in criminal justice on the part of many lawyers. In action at the Midyear Meeting in Seattle, the Section Council voted to tighten the budget for Fiscal Year 1977-78 by limiting reimbursement to travel expenses for Section Council and committee members and by trim- ming the size of the American Criminal Law Review. The new policy goes into effect July 1. Copyright @ 1977 American Bar Association Produced by the ABA Press
