IOWA STATE BAR ASSOCIATION NEWS

We are sorry that you experienced difficulty accessing our website yesterday, but due to circumstances out of our control we were without power. A Mid American transformer adjacent to our building exploded causing the electrical service in our grid to be disrupted until 9:30 p.m. We hope this did not cause you too much of an inconvenience.

Happy Thanksgiving from the ISBA Staff!
