Why join? NSBA Committee and Sections Offer You Great Opportunities!
- Leadership: Very easy way to demonstrate and develop skills
- Networking: Great opportunity to build a strong network, including within your practice areas, and meet people you might not otherwise
- Learn new areas: For example, how the legislative process works, legal practice and procedure, as well as how nonprofits work including fundraising, finance and volunteer management
- Shape continuing education opportunities as well as participate. Receive section member discounts!
- Build your reputation through:
- Publications, such as authoring Nebraska Lawyer articles or practice manuals, many of which are initiated by sections
- Being a CLE presenter, again using connections to sections
- Shape the law, particularly at the state level, by getting involved with reviewing and proposing legislation, another activity under the auspices of sections
- Access resources. Most NSBA sections offer a free electronic newsletter (legal news feed) from Lexology Newsstand, specific to their certain practice area.
- Give back, primarily to the legal community, through activities such as networking with law students or assisting fellow lawyers experiencing personal challenges interfering with their practices
- Have fun! Socialize with colleagues informally or through organized social events
