Sending Our Condolences
ALA mourns the passing in March of Past President Jack Kaufman, who was ALA’s second President, serving from 1975–1977. During his career, Jack was a lawyer, credit analyst and firm administrator before co-founding a legal management consulting company that he ran for more than 20 years. He was also a member of the Cleveland and American Bar Associations and a fellow at the College of Law Practice Management. To read more about Jack, check out the LM Extra about his contributions to ALA or visit his obituary. His funeral was also live-streamed and can be found at this link. ALA extends our deep appreciation for Jack’s many years of service to the Association and our condolences to his family, friends and former colleagues.
