The ABA is reducing the dues that solo practitioners and government lawyers will pay on bills sent beginning in May. Solos will have their dues reduced by 50 percent, while government lawyers will save 25 percent. Currently, only around seven percent of solos join the organization, thought they account for nearly 30 percent of lawyers.
The move appears to be driven in part by the ABA's desire to claim a membership of 50 percent of all lawyers over the next few years.
