Go to your local bar (association)



Time To Explore your Local Bar (Association):

Go explore your local bar…

No, not that bar, your local bar association!  Bar Associations are professional associations of lawyers.  Many bar associations are responsible for regulation of the legal profession in their jurisdiction, while some are merely professional organizations.  Regardless of their function, Bar Associations provide Law Students, New Attorneys, and even the Seasoned Legal Professional the opportunity to grow by providing a plethora events including, but not limited to:

1.     Continuing legal education events (CLE)
2.     Sample Forms Including Complaints, Answers, and other items a new lawyer or a firm starter may need.
3.     Committee Meetings-focusing on areas of law as well as other committees
4.     Mentorship Programs to help law students and young lawyers learn from seasoned professionals how to grow properly and be ethical
5.     Networking Opportunities-meet lawyers in your city, build your professional network, you never know who you will meet!
6.     And many more!

In addition to your local bar association, you can visit your state bar association for even more resources.  If you happen to reside in Columbus, you are in luck!  The Columbus Bar Association and the Ohio State Bar Association are both less than ten miles apart from each other, giving you as a rising lawyer, a young lawyer, or the seasoned legal professional, no shortage of opportunities.
