In addition to the hard copy edition that is sent to members through the mail, the April 18 edition of the Lawyers Journal — the ACBA’s flagship publication featuring substantive legal articles and stories of interest to the legal community — is available digitally on the ACBA website and at the button below.

The ACBA is inviting members to a free paper-shredding event in the parking lot at the Burns White Center at 48 26th St. in Pittsburgh’s Strip District on Thursday, May 1 from 2 to 3:30 p.m. Thanks to the ACBA partners at Steel City Shredding, members can bring up to two boxes of papers to be shredded – right in front of your eyes – by Steel City Shredding's mobile shredding truck.
