Being part of one or more of PBA's sections could be the best decision you make about your membership or your practice. Membership in a section puts you in touch with your peers in your practice area and gives you access to resources and services not available any other way. Each PBA section is clearly defined by the focus of its work. The Administrative Law Section was established to observe and make recommendations, primarily at the state level, on the effectiveness of government-issued regulations.
Members benefit from CLE programs and other events.
The section places a strong emphasis on aviation law such as airline regulations and on space-related matters. As one of the strongest PBA bodies, the Civil Litigation Section offers CLE-based retreats and meetings for members to maintain their practice standards and for networking with their peers. Through its quarterly newsletter and bulletins, the section also provides its members with concise studies and timely information about recent court decisions on a variety of litigation matters as well as section news. Members have been actively pursuing revisions to the corporate law and the uniform commercial law. The Criminal Law Section, foremostly, is concerned with protecting the rights of all individuals who are involved in criminal court proceedings.
