INTRODUCING A LEGAL ASSISTANCE NETWORK

摘要

WE ALL KNOW THAT ACS IS A volunteer organization.Wevolunteer to do service both inside and outside ACS-and sometimes we can use that "service model" to get the microphone so we can tell the public about the benefits of chemistry.Sometimes our volunteer work is mutual aid.The advantage of an organization as large and as diverse as ours is that when one member has a problem,somewhere there's usually a member with a solution.Earlier this year,I received a letter from a member who had lost a job in a corporate restructuring.Among his ideas for improvements in ACS employment tools was the suggestion that ACS develop a legal resources group capable ofhelping members determine whether they need a lawyer in a situation like his,and if so,how to get in touch with the right legal specialists on a geographic basis.
