About the LCBA

LEGACY

In 1940, local attorneys informally gathered as the Lane County Bar Association.  In 1976, LCBA directors opted to formally register as a 501(c)(6) non-profit business association.  Membership is open to attorneys, judges, law school faculty, legal staff -AND- professionals in affiliated law-adjacent industries.   The LCBA acts by and through a board of ten(10) elected leaders.  For more info, see LCBA Board of Directors.

SERVICES

Towards the foregoing ends, the LCBA exists to equip members with a variety of educational, business and social resources.  These resources include focus groups called Sections, monthly member luncheons (generally 2nd Thursdays SEPT-JUNE), seasonal Events, CLE credit, monthly newsletter, public recognition of distinguished members (30-40-50 years), community service, along with sharing affiliate opportunities to interact with the judiciary, government officials, and other leaders in the legal community.  We also serve as a junction to bring our best & finest into leadership opportunities at the local, state & national levels.

Many of our Sections host their own luncheons & special events for more focused discourse & networking.  LCBA membership includes engagement at section events.

We currently organize three major seasonal events for our members, annually: (1) Winter Social (December) + (2) Spring Awards Bash (May) to recognize honorees of our annual Awards + (3) Summer Ems Picnic (August) a fun & family friendly event.

The LCBA shares info primarily through our email listserve and website, administered by a our webmaster.

Separately, we publish a monthly newsletter called the Bar News which includes legal announcements, upcoming events, job opportunities, available office space, etc.  Submissions to the Bar News are due by the 20th each month and may be emailed HERE.

Together, our board is a dedicated group committed to helping members connect with a collegial local network of attorneys for knowledge, mentorship, support & resources to enhance the practice of law.
