Membership Activity VII. MEMBERSHIP AND AWARDS • Lawyer Membership Lawyer Section memberships totaled 10,000 in June 2010, fewer memberships than this time last year. Overall CJS lawyer memberships are down 5.4% over last year. Cumulative adds for the year are 2,691, which is ‐98, or ‐5%, lower than last year (36.5% Section‐only, 13.1% ABA+Section, and 50.3% Law Student Transfers). Cumulative cancels for the year are 4,187, which is 1,234, or 41.8%, more than last year (25.3% Section‐only and 74.7% ABA+Section). The change is due to the February drop for non‐payment of dues. • Associate Membership Associate Section memberships totaled 228 in May 2010 or 13 fewer memberships than this time last year. Overall CJS associate memberships are down 5.4% over last year. • Law Student Membership Law student Section memberships totaled 9,617 in May 2010 or 650 fewer memberships than this time last year. Overall CJS law student memberships are down 6.3% over last year. • February Drop for Non‐Payment of Dues In February 2010 the ABA Membership and Marketing Division dropped all members (lawyer, associate and student) that had not paid their ABA dues for the FY2010 year. This is the second of two drops the Division conducts every year, the first occurring in September 2009. All members dropped for non‐payment of ABA dues are automatically dropped from Section membership. Overall, ABA lawyer Section memberships are down year‐over‐year by 7%. ABA lawyer members are down 4%, while ABA lawyers in a Section are down 5.7%. The February drop for non‐payment has had a dramatic impact on Section memberships, most of which can be attributed to the economic recession. The Criminal Justice Section incurred 2,033 ABA+Section drops and 321 Section‐only drops in February.

The Criminal Justice Section is participating in the ABA MMD offer of free Section membership to non‐Section new ABA members for FY2011. The promotions to new ABA members will run through March 2011, with a limit of one free Section per member. This audience includes new bar admittees, new lawyer members, and new members who join at the new dues rate for solo practitioners, government lawyers, legal service lawyers, and judges. This membership campaign enables the ABA to increase new ABA member Section participation to show more value from early in the membersʹ ABA experience. As with FY2009 and FY2010, MMD hopes to have 100% Section participation for FY2011.
