Don't Miss Out on the Privileges of Bar Membership
Membership in the State Bar of Georgia provides many benefits. Be sure that you are taking advantage of all the resources outlined in this article.
BY SHEILA BALDWIN
Unknown and underutilized by many, the State Bar of Georgia provides its members (active, emeritus and inactive members) with an array of valuable, membership-enhancing member benefits. These benefits range from lawyer-related legal services (like Fastcase's legal online research) to health, dental, vision, disability and long-term care insurance, and Medicare supplemental and prescription insurance plans.
For new and smaller law firms, there are a wealth of resources offered to assist attorneys with effectively managing their practice from conception to sunset. For all active, inactive, emeritus and out-of state members, the Bar provides a complimentary attorney profile offering from ReliaGuide that allows such members to maintain a respectable online presence as part of their Bar membership. Or for $96/year ($8/month), Bar members have access to a comprehensive web presence with the Profile-Plus option. Profile-Plus is so powerful, that more than a few law firms purchase firm URLs that are automatically directed to their Profile-Plus account. To get an idea of what is possible, check out the profile of Immediate Past President Elizabeth Fite.
Accompanying this article is a member benefits guide. In this concise guide, by benefit, you will find pertinent, key information, along with related hyperlinks. More specifically, the guide (1) identifies the Bar's member benefits offerings; (2) provides each offering's online URL location; (3) succinctly describes the offering; and (4) provides useful tips and information as to which members the benefit applies (active, emeritus, inactive), the geographic limitations of the benefit, if any (in-state, out-of-state, etc.), and other pertinent information. This guide was drafted with the purpose of serving as your go-to member benefits directory for today as well as tomorrow (i.e., save this guide for future reference).
If you experience difficulties with a hyperlink, please copy the hyperlink, include it in an email with the subject line "BENEFITS TECH ISSUE" and send it to sheilab@gabar.org so that the staff at the State Bar of Georgia is aware of the issue and may correct it. Please note that for many of the hyperlinks, you must already be logged into your Bar account for the link to work.
