Legislative roundup, extending your digital reach, and more.
The Illinois Bar Journal, our award-winning monthly magazine, is free online to ISBA members.
Search from November 1998 to present
You have two great options.
1) If you have an Internet connection, the web version looks great, is a breeze to navigate, links to citations in Fastcase and other resources, and lets you browse articles back to November 1998 by subject, author, and title. You can even add the IBJ icon to your tablet's or phone's homescreen for this page and have handy access to the latest issue and other features.
2) If you're going to be offline, the PDF version preserves the look and layout of the magazine (use iBooks and you can even flip the pages).
Send us a short (500-words or fewer) letter to the editor. ISBA members can also add their comments to specific articles and view the comments of other members.

Past winning articles can be found in the February issues of the Illinois Bar Journal. Find out more...
