Literacy is the single most important skill a child needs to be successful, yet many children lack access to books of their own. In an effort to promote book ownership and help children create pathways to success through engagement with text, the Women & the Law Committee organized a book drive to coincide with ISBA’s 2024 Midyear Meeting.
