ASK-A-LAWYER 2020 :
Successfully Answering the "Call" Dear members,
year; one in particular had 22 sub-questions in a single email. (reminiscent of the Bar Exam) I know for a fact that some young attorneys took these complex, confusing and convoluted questions as a challenge to answer. EVERY QUESTION THIS YEAR WAS ANSWERED! If you participated this year, you deserve a medal. I would pin it on you myself if given the opportunity. The Legal Profession is truly a noble one, and I believe we demonstrated that through this program. I hope to see the phone banks up and running again next year, and I invite you all to participate in that with me as well. Thanks for making this year’s AAL program a resounding success!!
Now that ASK-A-LAWYER 2020 is now in the books, so to speak, I wanted to express my sincere thanks to the Homeric effort put forth by Tulsa Attorneys this year. The Covid-19 scenario forced us to convert the program to email questions only; the phone banks went silent this year for the first time in 44 years. Between Tulsa and OKC, we had somewhere around 150 attorneys sign up to help. This is the most help ever; at least in my 30 years of participating in the program. A couple of large Tulsa firms really answered the call by having multiple associates (as well as some partners) sign up to help. In fact, we had so many Attorney volunteers, we had to ration the questions over a 7 day period to give everyone a chance to help Sincerely, out. There were some truly complex questions this Dan Crawford, Chair
