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.

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.
