Reaching the lawyers of Illinois
The Illinois State Bar Association (ISBA), unlike most states, has a voluntary membership. The fact that it is the largest bar association in the state (over 30,000) is testimony to the fact that the ISBA provides information and services members not only find useful, but often essential to their practice.
The ISBA has more members in the Chicago Metroplex than any legal organization and more than 12,000 members who practice in other parts of Illinois. The publications of the ISBA are the only legal publications with a statewide audience.
Illinois Bar Journal
The magazine of Illinois lawyers. The Illinois Bar Journal is the flagship publication of the ISBA. Journal articles are frequently cited in opinions handed down by the state's high courts, so it is not surprising that the average Journal reader spends 29 minutes reading or looking through a typical issue.
Another 63% say they read one-third or more. Seventy percent save each copy. That means your sales message is seen again and again. In addition 71% share their issue with one or more additional readers. That means the Illinois Bar Journal reaches a total readership of more than 60,000.
This impressive information guarantees that the vast majority of practicing legal professionals in the state are reading your message.
