Gore Campaign Recruiting Lawyers TALLAHASSEE (AP) - Al Gore (news - web sites)'s supporters, seeking to recruit lawyers to help with its vote recount efforts in south Florida, asked a national group that works closely with trial lawyers around the country to help. The president of the group said Tuesday night the group doesn't plan to act on the request. The request was passed along on the Internet E-mail list of the National Association of Trial Lawyer Executives (NATLE) by the executive director of the group, Kathleen Wilson, suggesting they pass along the request to lawyers on the Internet E-mail lists they're on. The E-mail said the Gore campaign was requesting volunteers for the recount in Volusia, Miami-Dade and Broward Counties. The E-mail said ``they are comfortable that Palm Beach County is under control.'' ``They anticipate that they will need at least 500 lawyer-volunteers, primarily in (Miami-Dade) and Broward counties,'' the note said, adding they were requesting only lawyer volunteers. Gore campaign spokesman Doug Hattaway said he didn't know details about the e-mail for lawyers, but acknowledged an active effort to recruit lawyers to help with the recount. ``We have a number of attorneys volunteering to observe the county process and interview voters who have complaints,'' he said. Penny Gold, president of the organization, which includes many executive directors and other officials with lawyer groups, said the E-mail was ``just an informational thing that got passed along.'' ``We haven't done anything with it,'' she said, adding that she knew of no plans to act on it.
