To accomplish this goal, section leaders decided to publish a collection of committee reports in book form, and the first edition of At the Cutting Edge was released in 2009. The American Bar Association publishes an updated collection of reports on an annual basis.
The American Bar Association put out the first issue of The Urban Lawyer in 1969, in the wake of what they called in the inaugural issue, the “urban crisis.” Topics range from violent crime to labor/housing issues and beyond.
