    Joint Law Practice Management Group

    This group focuses on issues, which can enhance the effectiveness and profitability of the legal practice of real estate lawyers. The work product of the committees deals both with the management of the real estate practice, such as techniques for managing offices and technology to more effectively produce legal product or handling litigation matters effectively, whether through traditional litigation or creative alternative dispute methods. The Pro-Bono Committee does not just provide CLE materials and articles on issues affecting legal consumers, such as predatory lending, it has actually created a mechanism for Section attorneys to provide direct pro bono legal services through Habitat for Humanity offices nationwide, thereby enhancing not only the visibility and effectiveness of the Section but the practices and community support by individual Section attorneys across the country.

    In-House Counsel Committee Leadership

    The In-House Counsel Committee is intended to be a home for in-house, governmental, and other lawyers not practicing at law firms within the Real Property, Trust and Estates Section. We are committed to ensuring all in-house lawyers in the Section can make most of their membership by having the same opportunities within the Section as lawyers working at traditional law firms. Accordingly, our goal is to provide this group of lawyers with opportunities for networking, continuing legal education, speaking and writing, and to otherwise address their special needs. The committee also represents the interests of Section members practicing in-house by advocating our unique viewpoint through participation in Section leadership and by providing a pathway for in-house lawyers to join Section leadership.
