Did you know that, as well as the Bar Bulletin, King County Bar also publishes the Washington Lawyers Practice Manual (WLPM)? Not only is it Washington State’s most comprehensive legal reference set, it is also designed for all practitioners in Washington State and provides instant access to 26 of the most frequently used areas of law. Updated annually, this expansive resource is available as a whole or by the practice area.
The WLPM is a valuable resource for big firms and solo practitioners alike. Large firms use our eight-volume print edition of the WLPM to support their own research and that of out-of-state summer interns. The electronic edition allows solo practitioners and smaller law firms to reduce library research time. No matter what size your practice, the WLPM allows you to save time and pass valuable savings on to clients. This is a great investment for LLLTs and paralegals, too!
The manual is easy to use, saves time, and adapts to your individual needs. The electronic version of the WLPM has interactive forms, can be keyword searched, and each table of contents heading is electronically linked to the corresponding section of the text. It not only includes the text of each chapter as a PDF file, but provides the forms in Word as well, making them easier to adapt for your own use!
What’s more, the WLPM is a subscription service! With the purchase of a complete print or electronic edition, you’ll automatically be subscribed to receive annual updates to ensure your WLPM always reflects the most up-to-date information. Given the number of changes to the law every year, we want to ensure our reference material is as up to date as possible. Each year prior to the release of the annual update, you will receive an email from KCBA to confirm your subscription including the impending delivery of your updated information. Of course, the subscription can be canceled at any time.
Finally, your purchase supports our Pro Bono Services, ensuring the most vulnerable members of our community have continued access to the justice system at absolutely no cost. You can feel good that your investment benefits people beyond your immediate practice. What is not to like about that?
Ordering is simple. Go to kcba.org/wlpm and tailor your purchase to your specific professional needs. You won’t regret having so much vital knowledge at your fingertips.
