Bar Leader Magazine, from the ABA Division for Bar Services, has dedicated its May-June cover story to age-related cognitive impairment. In the feature article, lawyer assistance program (LAP) directors and bar leaders discuss the efforts being made to prepare for problems associated with the reality that attorneys are retiring later in life. The issue also features a “wish list” for how LAPs and bar associations should confront the issue, by Terry Harrell, Executive Director of the Indiana Judges and Lawyers Assistance Program and Chair of the ABA Commission on Lawyer Assistance Programs (CoLAP).
