A lot of you read or get published in The Urban Lawyer, the scholarly journal published the ABA’s Section of State and Local Government Law (my Section). It’s our flagship publication: it is published quarterly, and has the largest circulation of any journal devoted to the Section’s subjects. A subscription is included as part of your Section membership.
Publishing has changed a lot since the journal was first published half a century ago, and we’ve commissioned a short survey to ask readers and authors in which direction they want the journal, and our other Section publications (State and Local Law News (the newsletter), and the e-News (a monthly quick update) to go.
So please take a couple of minutes, and complete the survey. It won’t take long. Tell us what you want — a hard copy delivered to your mailbox like now, a searchable pdf version delivered to your inbox, or some combination where your membership gets you the electronic version, but a few extra dollars gets a copy mailed to you (which I personally prefer, and would be willing to pay a modest subscription fee to ensure that continues). Let us know by October 9, 2017.
