There are about 10,000 elder-law practitioners nationwide. Many belong to the National Academy of Elder Law Attorneys in Tucson, Ariz. While it is possible to get certified as a specialist by the National Elder Law Foundation, affiliated with the American Bar Association, only 200 lawyers have undergone that process so far.

If you like this period in Jones' career, you should check out "She Thinks I Still Care: The United Artists Years," a 40-song compilation released in 1997 by Razor & Tie, a New York City?based reissue specialist. For some unfathomable reason, "Three's a Crowd" isn't included, but there are plenty of great tracks, good reproduction and some nice liner notes.
