RESOURCES FOR SUCCESS
The D.C. Bar Practice Management Advisory Service
(PMAS), Legal Ethics Program, and Lawyer Assistance
Program (LAP) are committed to helping members
uphold their professional integrity and conduct by providing
them with the tools and resources for the ethical
practice of law.
Dedicated to helping solo attorneys and small firms stay
current with best practices and tech tools, PMAS hosted
its annual Practice 360˚ in person for the first time since
the pandemic, drawing more than 130 attendees in
October 2023.
Over the fiscal year, PMAS advisors also facilitated
numerous law firm launches through the Bar's Successful
Small Firm Practice Course and provided in-depth
consulting services to attorneys seeking guidance on
starting, growing, and managing their law firms. For its
innovative and effective Managing Money course, PMAS
won its third E. Smythe Gambrell Professionalism Award
from the American Bar Association's Standing Committee
on Professionalism in July 2023.
