A new batch of treats from Midwest Voices - 2005
oclc.org
—
In 2002, The Star launched a new feature on its Opinion pages: a 10-person panel of Midwest Voices. We were looking for different perspectives and different opinions than those held by our Editorial Board. On that count alone, we succeeded.
And the response of readers to the panel over the last two years has generally been positive.
You didn't always agree with the viewpoints expressed by each columnist, but many of you were moved enough to offer a response. For that we are pleased.
Three years later, the reader interest is still strong. We had more than 250 applications for the 2005 panel and it was hard work narrowing the field to 25, let alone 10.
But narrow to 10 we did, and we think the panelists this year will continue the traditions established by their predecessors.
Do mandatory bar associations stifle freedom and diversity of thought in the legal profession?
The Federalist Society
—
Over half of state bar associations are mandatory—that is, lawyers must belong to them as a precondition to practicing law. In many instances, such bar associations take public stances on a variety of issues, ranging from seemingly-mundane proposed amendments of state civil procedure rules to more polarizing, hot-button political issues. Even if some of their members may disagree with these stances, they are still required to join and pay dues to the associations as a precondition to practicing law. This raises the question of whether mandatory bar associations stifle freedom and diversity of thought in the legal profession.
