An inter-bar alliance; the Bar Services Division is committed to strengthening our professional ties
Article Abstract:
The goal of the ABA Bar Services Div is to help effect a stronger working partnership between the association and its inter-bar partners. This happens through many programs and services including leadership training, publications, personal on-site consultations, services to affiliate bar groups and a clearinghouse on the organized bar. Oversight for division programs is through the Standing Committee on Bar Activities and Services. The clearinghouse, which is constantly updated, is the hub of this division.
