    Happy New Year and Looking Ahead to 2020

    Zachary Bambacht

    It’s been an exciting year, so far, for the Law Practice Division. LP is now accessible to all ABA members; all you have to do is opt in. We are an included value of your ABA membership! As a result, LP is now experiencing unprecedented growth as a Division, and we welcome all our new members. One of the best experiences we can offer all our members is the excitement that comes with participating in TECHSHOW.       

    TECHSHOW 2020

    Technology continues to advance and innovate in new areas that were only recently inconceivable, and today’s attorneys can either get ahead or fall behind and be overwhelmed by this continuous evolution.
