Upcoming Events
In light of the current situation regarding COVID-19 we are suspending all in-person events through the end of April 2020. We will be monitoring the situation and restarting events as soon as it is safe to do so.
One of our goals at ISBA Mutual is to educate the legal community. We do this by hosting free Continuing Legal Education events in our office and other locations throughout the state. These events are offered to lawyers who are not currently insured with us and current policyholders.
