should join the MSBA
Back
to Section Home Page
10.
You can get to know attorneys practicing in your area of interest
by participating in one of the MSBA's 32 sections -- over half of
which are free to students -- or volunteering for one of our committees.
Does the term networking ring a bell?
9.
MSBA membership shows potential employers your commitment to the
legal profession. How's your resume looking?
8. You'll
receive Bench & Bar magazine each month.
Job openings -- not to mention lots of interesting articles -- appear
in the MSBA's magazine in every month. Subscriptions are included
with your membership.
7.
The MSBA makes it easy to keep up with news about the legal profession
by delivering a weekly web-based digest of newspaper and magazine
articles linked to the original publications.
6. With
its Court Opinions by Email service, the MSBA does everything
but knock on your door and hand you the rulings by the Minnesota
Court of Appeals and Supreme Court and the Federal District Court.
You'll have to make an effort to miss rulings if you subscribe to
this service.
5.
You can rub elbows with State Supreme Court justices and assorted
judges at special events and receptions sponsored by the MSBA. Have
we mentioned networking?
4.
You can get in on special group discounts on all types of insurance,
from home and auto to universal life and major medical. Plus you
qualify for discounts on car rental, credit cards, travel and much
more in our MSBAdvantage program.
3.
You can develop your professional credentials and social consciousness
by doing pro bono work. The MSBA works with the Minnesota Justice
Foundation and publishes the Directory of Pro Bono Opportunities.
There are lots of jobs law students can take on.

The MSBA's new online practice aid is free to all members. practicelaw.org
uses online technology to deliver the practice tools that lawyers
use every day. These tools include:
--official court forms and rules
--templates for legal documents
--sample pleadings and discovery
--checklists and reminders
--articles, practice tips and advice from experienced practitioners.
Because
it is online, practicelaw.org is linked directly to outside sources,
such as cases and statutes -- something impossible to do in traditional
publications. Since practicelaw.org online, members don't have to
download or install anything; any member with Internet access has
instant access to all of practicelaw.org.
practicelaw.org
helps members deliver high-quality legal services more efficiently
in the following practice areas:
--Family Law

In addition, practicelaw.org now has free Uniform Conveyancing
Blanks -- UCBs -- for real estate transactions.
