Getting the most out of WisBar
WisBar's new design includes My State Bar - the
member's personal account - log in today
The April launch of the redesigned State Bar Web
site, WisBar, offers several new capabilities for members. The My State
Bar feature, located in the upper right corner of WisBar, allows members
to track their CLE credits, update address or other contact information,
indicate areas of interest, view State Bar products and events related
to those interests, view dues and assessment payment history, and
committee, section, or division memberships, and manage electronic
lists. This is the first in a series of articles that will help guide
members through WisBar's new features.
After you click on My State Bar, you will be asked to log in. After
logging in, go to My State Bar to view your password-protected profile.
Accessing most WisBar pages does not require logging in, except when
ordering products or registering for events (which applies relevant
members discounts), to view and edit profile information, and to access
restricted content in section and other areas.
My Profile. Once you are logged in, you can perform
a variety of tasks. While in My State Bar, you can update your profile,
including:
- Changing your address - Update your contact
information, including email address, on file at the State Bar. New
information is reflected on WisBar within 24 - 48 hours, as well as in
the searchable Lawyer Directory.
- Adding languages - If you are fluent in other
languages, enter them into your profile, and that information will be
displayed in Lawyer Directory.
You also can access several other important areas from My State
Bar.
My CLE Tracker. This feature automatically tracks
credits earned through State Bar CLE programs. If you earn credits from
another provider, you can enter that information here.
My Memberships. View a history of your State Bar
committee, section, and division memberships.
My Activities. View your meeting history and dues,
assessment, and other financial information. You also can view a history
of publications and products that you have ordered online.
My Interests. Take a moment to enter your areas of
interest. Click on "Edit" and select your areas of interest from a list
of more than 50 topics. Whenever you return to My State Bar, related
products or upcoming seminars and events within those areas will display
under Events of Interest or Products of Interest.
My eLists. View a list of electronic lists you
belong to; subscribe and unsubscribe here. By clicking on the link, you
can access the message archive. Some lists are open only to members of
various work groups and sections.
A Frequently Asked Questions area also is available on the left
navigation bar in the My State Bar area.
