Among the 44 sections ISBA members can join for networking, continuing legal education, advocating for or against legislation, and keeping up with the latest developments in their practice areas, it can still happen: A few members don’t quite feel at home in any of them. That’s why new ISBA sections emerge from time to time. In the past few years, ISBA members have launched the Food Law Section and the Privacy and Information Security Law Section, each of which gives the ISBA a gathering place for those immersed in these up-and-coming sectors.
