The ABA-IPL Section recognizes that many of our supporters wish to support the Section in whatever way they can, and therefore, we developed a new “Friend of the ABA-IPL Section” support option in the amount of $250 - $1000. This opportunity is available for firms with less than 25 attorneys. Members may also participate and be recognized as individuals, rather than as a member of their organization. Friends of the ABA-IPL Section will be given the opportunity to renew support each year.
