The association's purpose is to help lawyers in Iowa practice more effectively through products and services including continuing legal education (CLE) seminars, practice aids, interaction with the judiciary and legislature, law reform participation, and news. Additionally, the Iowa Bar serves to educate the public about legal issues.
