South Florida's Legal Community Update for November 22, 2010

Hello Joshua. Let me be the first to wish you and yours a happy healthy thanksgiving.  When I started this newsletter I did so with two goals in mind. The first was obvious, to promote a more engaged and active LEGAL community. Many of our readers are interested in participating in events and supporting our community but weren't aware of the variety of options available for them to do so. This brings me to the second goal of the Legal Community Update. You may have noticed that the only enhanced advertising in this newsletter is for non profit organizations trying to make an impact in our Community. Let's work together this holiday season to bring awareness to the causes we feel connected to beyond the legal circles. If you are aware of ANY events throughout South Florida this holiday season that could benefit from the participation of our readers please send me the information to be included in our newsletters through the end of the year. Your feedback and contributions to this update are appreciated. If you notice anything missing or incorrect below email me at JColler@VERITEXT.com by noon Wednesday for inclusion in Thursday's update distributed throughout the South Florida Legal Community . Thank you, -Josh

Children’s Book Written by Coral Children’s Book Written by Coral Gables Attorney to Benefit Lawyers to the Rescue/Miami Children's Hospital


Sara Rose, Kid Lawyer By Spencer M. Aronfeld
 

Spencer M. Aronfeld, founding partner of The Aronfeld Trial attorneys, has written a children’s book showing young readers what different kinds things lawyers do, and how the gift of debate on a passionate issue can lead to legal career.

"Sara Rose, Kid Lawyer," published by AuthorHouse™, tells the story of Sara Rose, a tenacious elementary school student who likes to argue. She constantly debates with her parents, her little brother and her friends. One day her fourth-grade teacher tells her that all her arguing would make her a good lawyer. After a chance encounter with a real attorney who introduces her to the legal profession, Sara Rose soon finds herself thrust into the middle of a real case, representing her class in front of the school board.

A portion of the proceeds from the book will benefit Lawyers to the Rescue, a non-denominational humanitarian organization created by lawyers committed to bringing legal assistance and humanitarian support to people around the world in times of crisis. Lawyers to the Rescue recently held a legal clinic for the homeless at the Camillus House in downtown Miami. The organization also assisted in the construction of a Habitat for Humanity home and held fundraisers for earthquake disaster relief efforts in Chile and Haiti. It also has a new student chapter at the Florida International University School of Law. For more information about the organization, visit: www.lawyerstotherescue.org

Also, attorneys who buy the book have the option of having copies donated to the Miami Children's Hospital, with the goal that each child admitted this holiday season will receive a free copy.

You can buy book by contacting Mr. Aronfeld's office: 305.441.0440
