I'm having technical difficulties.

Sorry to hear that. Please check our technical difficulties guide for information that might help solve your problem.

What's this del.icio.us thing and how does it work?

Del.icio.us is a third-party social bookmarking site that allows you to easily save and categorize webpages. For a full explanation about how it works, and how you can use it in your law practice, check out the article on del.icio.us that ran in the October 2007 Solo and Small Firm Edition.

I’m interested in contributing to an issue.

Great! We’d love to hear from you. If you’ve got a story idea you’d like to write about, please contact Addendum editor Jared Adams at news@cba.org. Articles are generally less than 1,000 words in length, and should apply to a topic of national interest among the group you’re writing for. If you’re not sure what kinds of issues we cover, please check out our back issues.

Does it cost me anything to receive Addendum?

Absolutely not. Addendum is provided free of charge to CBA members.

I get enough e-mail; I don’t want to receive Addendum any more.

We’re sorry to hear that. We try to provide you with the latest tips and tricks to help you in your practice. But if you’re absolutely suffering from e-mail overload and want to stop delivery of Addendum, e-mail memberservice@cba.org with your request, making sure you tell them which edition you’re currently receiving.

I have a compliment/complaint/technical difficulty/question that’s not dealt with in the FAQ.
