Lawyer's Handbook
The Greening of the Handbook
In its continuing effort to save money and the environment, the North Carolina State Bar has decided not to print and mail the 2010 edition of the Lawyer's Handbook. For the past 14 years, receipt of this annual compendium of the State Bar's rules and ethics authorities has been a reliable harbinger of spring, bringing the Bar's entire membership, now in excess of 24,000 lawyers, up to date on professional regulation. Realizing, however, that the content of the Handbook is relatively slow to change and that the publication can be made available online quite inexpensively, the Bar's leadership has determined that it will henceforth provide hard copies on an every-other year basis only. Accordingly, the 2010 Handbook will be published only online. The 2011 edition will be printed and mailed as usual, and thereafter the sequence will repeat. It is believed that this measure will save tens of thousands of dollars in copying costs and postage this year.
