Sections, Divisions and Forums within the ABA provide members myriad opportunities for professional development, leadership development, networking, pro bono contributions, and education within their own particular fields of interest and expertise. Sections and Divisions also contribute to policy-making on issues of importance to both lawyers and the public. Sections originate many of the recommendations that become the ABAs policy positions, and act as checks and balances on recommendations of other entities. Through the work of these groups, the American Bar Association benefits the public through improvement of both the profession and the legal system. Form 990 Part III Line 4c These books offered guidance and counsel in every leagl discipline and every aspect of a legal career.

Thus ABA publications serve clients, the public and the courts by improving the education and professionalism of the nations lawyers. Because ABAs mission is to serve the profession, many disciplines and authors are able to publish vital and timely information that would not otherwise be available to the profession.
