Section activities are reported to members in the quarterly newsletter. Public Utility Law Lawyers representing public utilities will find this section particularly useful. The section sponsors a series of statewide luncheon programs featuring speakers from regulatory agencies. Information regarding new regulations and judicial decisions involving utilities is shared with members through the section newsletter published four times a year. This section concentrates on landlord-tenant relations, environmental issues, eminent domain and probate matters.
Members also are active in improving the relationship between realtors and lawyers.
The section newsletter, published twice a year, reports on section activities, and members gather at a section meeting once a year to share information, learn of new developments and network at both professional and social events. The Solo and Small Firm Section is designed for lawyers whose practices cover a broad range of issues as individual practitioners. Members can benefit from the flow of information through its quarterly newsletter about such key matters as law office management and the latest developments in law office automation and technology. Also, the section typically has a program for its members at the PBA Annual Meeting and sponsors a spring section retreat featuring CLE and time for more casual networking. The Tax Law Section specializes in state and local tax issues, but also deals with problems in the federal tax system.
