Nobody expects the head of the American Bar Association to be ambivalent about the joys of the law. But Karen Mathis -- a McElroy, Deutsch, Mulvaney & Carpenter partner and just the third woman to lead the ABA -- is a true believer. She sees law as a chance to do fruitful work in the service of great goals. This shows in two initiatives she began after taking office to look for ways to harness lawyers' talents to help others. One focuses on young people; the other reaches out to retired attorneys.

Nobody expects the head of the American Bar Association to be ambivalent about the joys of the law. But Karen Mathis is a true believer.
As she sees things, it’s not just a waste of law firm training when young attorneys quickly leave the profession. It’s not just a waste of lawyers’ time and money when the pressures of big-firm life drive them to abandon the law. It’s a waste of their chance to do fruitful work in the service of great goals.
