The Spring 1995 meeting was held jointly with the ABA Commission on Minorities. In October 1994, the Section held the Wilmington Advance, which was chaired by the Section's Chair, Chief Justice Norman Veasey, at which long-range planning goals were discussed and formulated including Section efforts to attract and integrate women, minorities, sole practitioners and young lawyers. During the past 10 years, the Section's committee growth has been phenomenal. The Committee on the Law of Commerce in Cyberspace celebrated its 10th Year as the leading force in dealing with all aspects of cyberspace and its implications for all facets of commercial law. Many large committees of the Section are highly organized and, in a sense, operate like a small ABA Section.
Most subcommittees hold meetings, present educational programs, and produce program materials.
At the recent Bankruptcy Judges Conference, the Business Bankruptcy Committee program materials consisted of 1,026 pages, which were bound in two volumes. Growth under the Publications Committee, created in 1991, has been remarkable. The Section continues to publish The Business Lawyer, which now has over 1,600 pages a year and is recognized as the Nation's leading business law review. Since 1992, the Section has also published Business Law Today, a bi-monthly magazine containing timely articles of interest to Section members. The Section has expanded its role in the ABA by seeking appointment of Section leadership members to various ABA committees.
