Join Elderbar, the listserve that brings together public sector law and aging advocates and the private bar. Elderbar is for you if you are a

• Title IIIB legal services providers
• Legal services developers
• Long-term care ombudsman
• Older Americans Act funded elder rights advocates
• Legal Services Corporation, other non-profit, or public sector legal advocates
• Law school elder law or clinical staff
• Bar association elder law section or committee leaders
• National law and aging advocates.

Elderbar will give you the opportunity to communicate across the boundaries of the law and aging networks and the public and private sectors.

You will be able to share ideas and information about bar sections and committee structures and activities, and to learn what others are doing in the face of funding shortages and practice restrictions to meet the legal needs of older people.

The ABA Commission sponsors a "collaborate" listserve on aging, disability and dispute resolution. The listserve includes over 185 mediators, lawyers, long-term care ombudsmen, aging and disability advocates, service providers and academics. The objective is to promote the use of creative dispute resolution mechanisms in the aging and disability communities. The listserve is low-key, and offers a useful way to exchange information, updates and announcements. To sign up, e-mail to ericawood@staff.abanet.org.
