“This damn virus will probably do more to promote the retirement of you boomers than any seminar.” That was what one colleague, only half-jokingly, responded when I mentioned that we had no fixed date for our next seminar on the ethics and mechanics of attorney retirement.

I’ve written before on the demographics of the profession, and though there are some states with growing young bars, many—ours included—have a large percentage over 50 with many over 60 and 70. Some friends and I have been doing seminars on the tricky issues attendant upon wrapping up a professional career spanning 40 or more years. They were very well attended until the pandemic hit. We’re shut down now, but will probably get going again in the fall, after things sort out and we shift to e-platforms. I bet we’ll have a good audience when we begin again.
