American Bar Association Offers Free Student Memberships

A recent article in the ABA Journal announced that the American Bar Association is now offering free memberships to students at ABA-approved law schools. 

Students who join will "have access to the ABA Job Board, free career advice webinars, complimentary continuing legal education seminars and member discounts [and] will also receive four digital and print issues of Student Lawyer magazine, plus a digital subscription to the monthly ABA Journal."  A link to register is available here.

Interested in some of these resources without signing up for a free membership?  The Law Library subscribes to many of the ABA magazines and publications, including the Student Lawyer.  Recent issues are available on the circular rack just inside the double doors to the library.  If you have a few free minutes, feel free to pick one up and browse through some articles.

Recent issues are also available online here.  Article topics from the March 2015 issue range from surviving your first year on the job, choosing law school courses, writing effective letters (by Bryan Garner), and applying for clerkships.
