Kansas City, MO Lawyer & Author Publishes Book on Nonprofit Law

A Nonprofit Lawyer, a new book by Bruce R. Hopkins, has been released by Dorrance Publishing Co., Inc.

“You’re a what?” As a nonprofit lawyer, Bruce R. Hopkins has heard that reaction more than a few times, but it still makes him smile. A practicing lawyer for more than five decades, Hopkins is a nationally recognized leader concerning the laws and regulations pertaining to nonprofit organizations. These organizations face a dizzying number of requirements both for gaining recognition of tax exemption from the IRS and filing annual information returns to continue to justify that status. Lucky for them, lawyers like Hopkins are there to help.

A Nonprofit Lawyer is one part crash course in nonprofit law and one part autobiography, telling the story of how Hopkins initially stumbled into nonprofit law and how he has become a prolific author and speaker on the subject while also maintaining a busy practice. Anyone interested in specific applications of nonprofit law or just looking for an interesting read about a passionate specialist will find plenty to like in these pages.
