Be sure to report your election or appointment to the ABA using our fast and easy electronic reporting form.

We look forward to working with you during the upcoming school year.  Within the next few weeks the new 2008-2009 membership applications will be available. In the meantime, please use the ABA Law Student Division online application to enroll students at your law school.

Beginning in July, the ABA Membership/Marketing team will be sending two shipments of materials to each 2008-2009 primary ABA Representative.  ABA-approved law schools will receive one of each item listed below provided that school’s ABA Representative has completed the 2008-2009 ABA Representative Reporting Form. If you have been re-elected or re-appoint as the ABA Representative at your school for 2008-2009, you must complete the reporting form in order to be included on the mailing list to receive these materials.

Padfolio:  This handy kit includes a list of ABA membership talking points, business cards for you to distribute to your fellow students, a sample of the ABA Journal and Student Lawyer, and a sample highlighter.  If there is more than one ABA Representative at your law school, it is the primary Representative’s responsibility to share this information with the other reps and discuss the contents with them.

Rep Box:  You will receive an official Rep Box, containing materials for promoting membership in the ABA at tabling events during orientation and throughout the year. In addition to membership enrollment forms, membership flyers, and give-away highlighters, your box will also include two sample magazines with table-top display stands, a large ABA banner for tabling events, as well as information on additional ABA benefits for law students.

Thank you all for your participation and for agreeing to represent the ABA on your campus.

Grant Program
The ABA Law Student Division Grant Program provides financial and program support each year to student organizations of ABA-approved law schools to establish programs/activities which emphasize diversity, ethics, professionalism training and public interest/service activities.

Representatives and Membership Funds
A limited amount of funding is available to ABA Representatives through the ABA Law Student Division Representative Fund and Membership Fund.
