In response to the COVID-19 public health crisis, the ISBA has created a community devoted to the pandemic on ISBA Central.

ISBA Central allows members to connect with their colleagues via our online community platform. Attorneys can pose questions, share information, and seek out lawyers for case referrals.

The COVID-19 community is open to all ISBA members and is designed to help attorneys share information with their colleagues throughout Illinois.

To join the COVID-19 community, go to ISBA Central and click on “Communities” in the main navigation and click on “All Communities” in order to see a list of available communities. Click on the COVID-19 community and simply click "Join," then choose a delivery option for posts (Real Time, Daily Digest or No Email).

To search for posts in ISBA Central, enter a keyword in the search bar located in the main navigation. To refine your search results, please select "Show Advanced Search".

You can respond to a discussion post on the web or via email. To respond to a discussion post, click “Reply to Discussion” to send your message to the entire community. To send a message to only the author of the post, please select “Reply to Sender” (located in the "Reply to Discussion" drop-down on the web). We recommend replying to the sender for simple comments like “me, too” that add little value to the overall discussion; and replying to the entire community when you are sharing knowledge, experience or resources that others could benefit from.
