When you join any of the ISBA’s 40 sections, you get complimentary access to two additional ISBA Central online communities.

Joining is easy. Simply visit the ISBA sections page, select the section you would like to join from the list, and click on the "join" button on the top of that section's page. You must be logged into the website as an ISBA member, otherwise you will be prompted to do so.

Once you have joined any section, you can opt into two additional, complimentary online communities: Litigation and Transactional. You can then connect, pose questions, and share information with fellow Illinois attorneys interested in those areas of law. This allows you to stay abreast of the latest legal developments and up-to-date with best practices.

The ISBA also offers four open, online communities available to all members. They include the Main Community, Cafe, Ethics and Mentor/Mentee.

Other benefits of section membership include newsletters emailed at least four times a year and discounts on section-sponsored CLE.
