Meet the Bar

Membership in the MCBA demonstrates your support for the core values of our legal system — equal justice for all through equal access to an independent judicial system. Your membership dues help fund, among other things, (1) the Lawyer Referral Service, which for a very low fee connects people with Lawyers pre screened for their expertise, (2) the Client Relations Committee, which mediates disputes that may occur between counsel and client, and conducts Fee arbitrations, (3) the Administration of Justice Committee, which focuses on the effectiveness of our local court system, and (4) the Elimination of Bias committee, which investigates allegations of bias in our local courts.

In addition, membership offers a variety of benefits, and countless ways to meet fellow attorneys and members of the bench. Our members have the opportunity to join one of our many active committees and sections; they keep pace with changes in the Marin County Courts and the law through CLE programs, and our monthly newsletter, the Marin Lawyer, and attend our monthly membership meetings.

In providing listings in the MCBA pictorial Directory, the MCBA's website offers enhanced features that benefit our members and the public. Marin County is truly unique, and the MCBA is committed to uniquely representing our members and serving the citizens of Marin County.
