The Iowa State Bar Association announced on April 22 that its ISBA2Go app has been downloaded nearly 200 times since its launch on March 4.
The association said the app is designed to help members register for continuing legal education events, check upcoming activities, and access news updates while away from their desks. The new tool aims to make it easier for lawyers and judges to stay connected with the organization.
According to the official website, the Iowa Bar Association serves more than 6,500 lawyers and judges licensed in Iowa according to the official website. The association supports its members in serving clients, the community, and the judicial system while promoting professional growth according to the official website. It also promotes diversity, equity, and inclusion within the legal profession according to the official website.
Administrative operations and member events are coordinated from headquarters in Des Moines according to the official website. The association is governed by a board of 47 members elected from Iowa’s judicial districts according to the official website.
The Iowa Bar Association recognizes excellence through awards for contributions both within the legal field and public service according to the official website. As one of its ongoing initiatives, it provides resources and educational opportunities aimed at enhancing practice standards as well as supporting legislative efforts statewide. It is noted as being America’s oldest voluntary state bar association serving more than 6,500 lawyers and judges across Iowa according to the official website.
Looking ahead, officials say that continued use of digital tools like ISBA2Go may further improve how legal professionals interact with each other and with their professional organization.
