CBA Television Productions Inc., ("CBA-TV") a not-for-profit affiliate of the CBA, was created as a unique way for lawyers to share their legal knowledge and expertise with the public through the popular and powerful medium of television. Operating in conjunction with the CBA Television Committee, CBA-TV trains and coordinates volunteer lawyers and judges in the preparation of television programming.

"You and the Law" is a topical, panel-format talk show--emphasizing the public service aspects of the law. The show explains legal issues, discuss the impact of public policy changes and court decisions, and stress the role of lawyers and judges in making and influencing those decisions.

A volunteer staff of over twenty practicing attorneys generates ideas, creates show outlines, hosts, and operates all equipment -- which means that You and the Law is the only show in the country with lawyers on both sides of the cameras!
