This is our Time

To the Lawyers of Kansas:

Lawyers form the backbone of the legal system, which affects nearly every aspect of society, and is bolstered by an effective, organized bar. Your state bar association, the Kansas Bar Association, and its bar foundation, the Kansas Bar Foundation, are among the very best in the country. However, they can be better.

In our professional lives, each of us has had many helping hands. From law school days to life as a young lawyer and beyond, individuals and organizations have been there to guide us and invest in our professional successes. This effort to Raise the Bar is an opportunity to lend our helping hands back to the profession that has enriched our lives.

Please give careful consideration and thought concerning your participation in Raising the Bar. Throughout our history, committed lawyers have stepped up to meet the needs of our profession. This is our time to lead.

  
As we embarked on this historic effort, we sought your feedback. We listened and, as a result, crafted some modest, *yet realistic, goals based on demonstrated needs. The following pages articulate those needs.

With your support, Bar staff will be able to better serve your day-to-day needs as a practicing attorney. With your support, our foundation can ensure access to justice for less fortunate Kansans and children of all ages will be enriched by learning the role of law in society. Bar programs and services impact the profession and community, and together we can leave a lasting legacy to our profession that will pay dividends for generations to come. It is important we all pitch in.

Please be a part of this exciting effort as we Raise the Bar!

Sincerely,


Frank C. Norton
Campaign Chairman
