Senior Lawyer Initiatives
Programs that support key initiatives and promote our mission to further the development and improvement of elder law.
Intiatives
Walk To End Alzheimer's
Our Senior Lawyers Division is partnering with the Alzheimer's Association and the Walk To End Alzheimer's, which is being held this Fall in communities across America. In 2024, the SLD had 5 teams nationwide with 11 participants raising a record $12,748. And we'd like to encourage you to join the team! Click "Start a Team" and enter your zip code to form a local team. Or you can make a donation to help find the cures for this disease and support one of our existing teams.
The Center for Excellence in Elder Law and Dementia
Creates, identifies, and pools resources for elder law attorneys whose work brings them into contact with clients, colleagues, and other persons who may be experiencing dementia. We hope this public-facing collection of links to events, resources, literature, and organizations will offer support for persons with dementia and those involved in their evaluation, treatment, and care.
Elder Fraud Prevention & Detection Initiative
A central location for resources to prevent scams, fraud, and financial exploitation of seniors including webinars, podcasts, organizations, alerts, brochures, posters, and telephone hotlines. Gives attorneys with resources to provide pro bono information to their local community and their clients who are victims of fraud or exploitation.
Pro Bono Opportunities
Explore pro bono and public service opportunities from within and outside the ABA. Some you can do from the comfort of your own home remotely!
