Request by the ABA Commission on Women in the Profession for endorsement of Recommendations and Report. The Commission seeks to have the Recommendation passed by the ABA House of Delegates at the August meeting in Toronto. I have drafted a proposed endorsement to the ABA House of Delegates from the WBA. Please feel free to suggest changes in content and format, if necessary. If you approve this endorsement, I will have Kaye retype it and deliver it to Cory on Tuesday. 2. Request by the Women's Legal Defense Fund for the WBA to sign an amicus brief supporting the validity of the D.C. Child Support Guidelines. A WLDF summary of positions to be taken in the brief is attached. As you are aware, the WBA endorsed the Child Support Guidelines this past year and is a member of a coalition which is working to see that the guidelines are enforced. Please call me at 836-5823 if you have any questions or need additional information about these matters, and to indicate whether the WBA should endorse the ABA Commission Recommendations and Report, and/or sign the WLDF amicus brief in the Fitzgerald case. cc.
