How to navigate the ABA Web site to make the most of your membership

There’s a wealth of information on the ABA Web site – if you know where to look for it.

The Membership and Marketing Division has created a handy flyer to help you navigate the association Web site. Some of the Web site highlights include:

• From the main ABA home page, lawyers may want to click on “Lawyer Resources” and then “YourLaw client newsletter” to find a resource that will allow them to keep in closer communication with their clients and potential ones, as well.
• Another resource linked from “Lawyer Resources” is the “Career Counsel” page – not just designed for lawyers who are looking for a job or to switch jobs, this page provides links to materials on mentoring, leadership and much more.
• The “Member Groups” page provides information on the dozens of ABA entities that are active both in the U.S. and abroad.
• “ABA Centers/Other Departments” can lead a lawyer to the Government Affairs site where one can learn more about the issues on which the ABA is lobbying before Congress, such as attorney-client privilege and sentencing reform.
• From the Justice Center's site, a reader has access to an array of information on fair and impartial courts, “resources for state trial judges“ and appellate education opportunities.
• Interested in volunteering your services? Find pro bono opportunities here.

When ABA members log on their personal, “myABA” Web site, they may join a new section or division, update their address or view suggested upcoming events that fit their individual profile.
