Becoming a member of the NYSBA is an excellent way for New York-based legal professionals to participate in the development of state laws and educate the public about pertinent local issues. When a law professional becomes a member of NYSBA, he or she can earn discounts on Continuing Legal Education (CLE) seminars, gain access to useful job resources, and attend exclusive networking events.
Additionally, NYSBA members can join a number of committees targeted toward professionals that focus on specific areas of law. Other opportunities for members include mentoring programs, writing positions for legal newsletters, and attendance to private social events.
While the majority of member are practicing law professionals, the NYSBA also offers a distinct form of membership for students currently working toward a degree in legal disciplines. For more information, see www.nysba.org/.
