3 Fam. Law. [i] (1961-1962)

handle is hein.journals/flwnwsltr3 and id is 1 raw text is: SECTION OF FAMILY LAW AMERICAN BAR ASSOCIATION Vol. III, No. I November 1961 OUR NEW CHAIRMAN COMMENTS ... As we look forward to see the immense ground which we must cover, it is well to look back for a brief glance at the long distance over which we have come in the three short years of our existence. During the past three years we have started our research program, have for- mulated and organized our committees and have begun to make our impression on the law of families in this country. Our membership has been growing steadily at a healthy rate and we are maturing. Each committee chairman of the Section is being asked to reduce his committee to a work- ing group. In the past, we have made committee assignments available to any person who wished to serve. Experience has shown, however, that some members have been more desirous of having their name on the masthead of a committee, than in contributing to its work. Therefore, we will seek this year to make committee member- ship more meaningful by reducing our committees to the working members. Criticism was laid in some respects at our recent meeting in St. Louis that the emphasis of this Section was being placed upon socialwork rather than on the role of the family lawyer. This is your Section, and your Council and your Officers will give you what you want. If you feel that the emphasis is misplaced, please applyfor committee membership and work toward the goal which you wish the Section to have. CARL F. INGRAHAM, Chairman FLASH: ABA CONSIDERS SPECIALIZATION At a meeting of all chairmen and vice- chairmen of the various Sections held at the University of Chicago on Saturday, October 21, 1961, it was announced that serious consider- ation is presently being given to the idea of certification of attorneys who qualify as special- ists in various fields of practice. A committee authorized by the Board of Governors was ap- pointed by President John C. Satterfield as an 11-member special committee under the chair- manship of former President David F. Maxwell of Philadelphia. A progress report of that committee was given to the Section chairman and vice-chairman which indicates the possi- bility that each Section would determine for it- self in its field of law what standards would be required for such a certificate of specialization. CAVEAT: This matter must yet be submitted to the House of Delegates and the Board of Governors for final approval but we nevertheless give you this progress report as we have it. KNOW YOUR OFFICERS AND COUNCIL BETT4R In an effort to give you some slightly better acquaintanceship with the officers and members of Council who are the governing body of our Section, we present herewith a brief biographical sketch of the Chairman, with the promise that we will carry such brief biographical sketches of the other members of Council and Officers in future issues.
