Writing for ISBA publications or speaking at our CLE programs are a great way for members to become known as recognized leaders in the legal profession and earn MCLE credit. The ISBA also helps lawyers and judges interested in speaking opportunities at schools and the community at large.
Authors
Our authors are recognized leaders in the legal profession. Each year hundreds of Illinois attorneys have their words published in one or more of our legal publications, which are read and referenced by thousands of lawyers across the state. And in the current economy, couldn't we all use a competitive edge? Find out more about the benefits of authorship.

Our award-winning magazine, the Illinois Bar Journal, is mailed monthly to members. Members also have access to archives of issues going back to 1998 online. Email Pete Sherman at psherman@isba.org to learn more, or read the IBJ Article Submission Guidelines.
Section Newsletters
More than 40 section newsletters titles are emailed at least four times a year to members of each section, and are available in both HTML and PDF formats. Read the Newsletter Submission Guidelines or email Sara Anderson at sanderson@isba.org to learn more.
