It started with a simple question from an attorney thinking about the career path ahead.

“I've been a solo since I clerked in 1996-1997. I've often entertained the idea of applying to firms and am doing so again… Are there others who went from solo to joining a firm and are glad they did?” wondered David Perry Davis, a family practitioner.

He posted the question to the hundreds of family law attorneys who belong to the New Jersey State Bar Association's Family Law Section using CommunityNET. Access to CommunityNET is a benefit only available to New Jersey State Bar Association members. It is an online platform for attorneys to ask questions of colleagues, share articles and decisions and learn more about an area of expertise.
