This handbook is published in order that the members of the Association may have the constitution, by-laws, membership list and other data in convenient form for ready reference. It is not intended to perform the functions of the year book.' During the World War, an extraordinary amount of work has devolved upon the members of the legal profession, and the members of the Seattle Bar have been no exception to the rule that the American Bar has done its duty in all forms of war work. The Honor Roll, placed in Department No. Ll of the Superior Court of King County, reproduced in this booklet, shows that 117 members of the Seattle Bar gave up'their practice and served under the Colors. A very high percentage of these received commissions. Three gave their lives in battle in France. Those who stayed at home assisted in the drives for the sale of Liberty Bonds, for the Red Cross and War Savings, and they bore the brunt of the work in such organizations as the Minute Men and Four Minute Men, the City and County Local Boards, Legal Advisory Boards, Councils of Defense and other branches of war work. The Bar of Seattle and King County made a record of war service of which this Association may be justly proud. Certain matters connected with war work were referred direct to this Association and committees appointed to handle same. The Committee on War Service performed work of a legal nature for the men ih-service and their families which deserves special mention.
