JUST, the magazine of the Ontario Bar Association, officially launched on June 1.  The new bimonthly replaces BRIEFLY SPEAKING, the organization’s former publication.

With the tagline ‘For people with a calling,’ the magazine offers a blend of industry and lifestyle content.  Editorial changes include shorter articles and an appearance that is “much more current and more visually appealing.”
