Southern States PBA
Legal Department
The goal of the PBA Legal Services Department is to provide quality legal services to our law enforcement officer members when their need for legal assistance related to their performance of their duties arises. When our members are involved in lawsuits, serious accidents, death in custody incidents, shootings, disciplinary actions and grievances arising out of their law enforcement duties, PBA Legal Services strives to give them the best legal representation for their situation. We not only provide legal services to our members, but we make every effort to ensure that our members feel supported when difficult circumstances arise.
PBA Legal Services, along with its network of attorneys across the southern states, appreciates the brave and hard work of law enforcement officers and aims to provide outstanding legal service in the protection of their legal rights.

He's studying engineering, and it's possible that he chooses to go straight into building a career in the aerospace industry after college. But it's also possible that he takes an even more interesting path ? he's interested in traveling the world and performing on stage, for example ? because if one thing's for sure about Jackson, it's that he's willing to branch out and try new things that he finds exciting ? even if they're unconventional.
