a broad range of issues as solo or small firm practitioners. Members can benefit from the flow of information
through the section's quarterly newsletter about such key matters as law office management and the
latest developments in law office automation and technology. Also, the section typically has a program
for its members at the PBA Annual Meeting and sponsors a spring section retreat featuring CLE and time
for more casual networking. Any member of the PBA is eligible to join the section for a small annual dues payment.

Join a PBA Listserv
What is a listserv? Simply put, it is an Internet-based discussion group of individual subscribers.
Discussions are accomplished through the use of email. By sending ("posting") an email comment
or question to the listserv, you are actually sending it to the in box of everyone who subscribes
to the listserv, without having to know or use their individual email addresses.
Click here to discover what listservs are maintained by the PBA.
Note: Not all PBA committees and sections have listservs and membership in a committee
or section is required before joining that committee’s or section’s listserv.
If you are already a member of a committee or section and wish to join the listserv
for that committee or section, this is the place to do it.
