More than 15 years ago, Mark Surprenant and U.S. District Judge Jay Zainey formed Support of Lawyers/Legal Personnel—All Concern Encouraged (SOLACE), a network of legal professionals that aims to help fellow members of the legal community and their families in times of significant need.
The ABA Journal shared an in-depth look at how SOLACE has expanded since the early 2000s, first through its adoption by the Louisiana State Bar Association, then through national networks such as the Federal Bar Association.
Mark is quoted in the article and describes how Project H.E.L.P. and SOLACE highlight Judge Zainey's consistent willingness to give his time and energy to help others in need.
