[WSBAPT] [WSBARP] Update on Upcoming Changes to the Listservs

[Bickel, Dwight]

I agree wholeheartedly.  I will continue to contribute to those in practice after my retirement, if allowed emeritus access. I suggest that my prior 40 years of real property legal experience will continue to have value.

Michael Safren: Please provide a path for those who have paid their dues for many decades to continue to have emeritus status to this listserve.

From: RebeccaWiess
The new policy means I and other retired attorneys will no longer be part of this listserv. I occasionally post on historical evolution of real property procedure or law, as a contribution to the education of those who come after me, and payback for those who helped me as a newbie thirty-some years ago. If institutional memory is valuable, then this listserv needs an emeritus status to include folks like me. If us old folks are not of value, then cut us out. And before you say “just join the section,” remember that retaining bar membership after retiring means continuing to pay bar dues and CLE costs. Once you do that, you get tempted to do some little piece of practice, and then you should be insured as well, and that means needing more income, and suddenly you are not retired anymore. Allowing non-practicing members of the bar to join still means you are going to eliminate some of your oldest and most experienced current members, because they retired..
