Jennifer J. Rose was a solo practitioner
practicing family law in Shenandoah, Iowa, for 20 years before moving
to Morelia, Michoacán, Mexico, eight years ago. In that life, she was
listed in Best Lawyers in America, rated AV by Martindale-Hubbell, and served a term as chair of the Iowa State Bar Association Family and Juvenile Law Section.
She has been editor-in-chief of GPSolo,
the flagship magazine of the American Bar Association General Practice,
Solo and Small Firm Division, for a decade; has served on the Section’s
Council; and has served on too many committees and boards to enumerate.
She is list manager of the Section-sponsored listserve Solosez. She has
been a contributing editor to Matrimonial Strategist and Internet Law Researcher and regularly serves as a judge of Law Office Computing’s annual law firm Web site competition.
Her efforts over the years in editing the ABA's great magazine, GPSolo, and the Solosez email list, were instrumental in the FutureLawyer's decision to go solo. I don't know how she found the energy to practice law and to be so active in the ABA. I only lasted 5 years in ABA speaking and functions, and got burned out from the politics. However, Jennifer is still going strong, and is running for Secretary of the Solo and Small Firm Division in the upcoming ABA elections. She has paid her dues, and then some. If you are a member of the ABA, or if you know someone who is, she deserves your vote.
