The myriad opportunities we provide include 15 practice sections and 16 committees; a wide range of legal professionals willing to share insights, experiences and contacts; the capacity to advocate for a just and accessible legal system and profession; and the opportunity to work to achieve excellence in the administration of justice.
For newer attorneys, our Young Lawyers Division is a great resource for networking and gaining knowledge and experience for your practice. The work I did with the YLD made me a better lawyer.
I’m proud of KCBA’s dedication to providing services for the residents of King County with a view to making our community the best it can be. As a member of the bar, you can help us continue this work.
