Message from 2021-22 Section Chair
Jacina Parson
Thank you for allowing me to serve as this year’s Chair. I look forward to working with you. The missions of the Solo & Small Firm Section are as follows:
- to assist the board of governors when called upon, in the implementation and promotion of the policies and objectives of The Florida Bar;
- to enhance the skill of the general practice, solo and small firm as well as the lawyer who has interests beyond the boundaries of a single professional specialty, by providing a forum for the exchange of ideas and information essential to improvement of the lawyer’s quality of legal service.
- to provide an organization within The Florida Bar open to members in good standing having an interest in the economics of law practice; and
- to provide a forum for discussion and exchange of ideas leading to the improvement and development of the fields of economics of law practice and delivery of legal services, and to serve the public generally and The Florida Bar in interpreting and carrying out the professional needs and objectives in these fields.
If you practice solo or in a small firm, the SSF Section is for you.
