Support Volunteer with MCBA


Join a Committee

Committees work to develop legal educational programs, support Bench-Bar relationships, support the Marin County Law Library, provide pro bono services through nonprofit legal services organizations, and support services relevant to the legal community.

MCBA members who participate in committee work hone their leadership skills, cultivate relationships working alongside other committee members, and give back to their community. If you have thought about serving on a board or pursuing a community or political leadership role, serving on an MCBA committee is a wonderful beginning to practice and navigate these roles.

Chair a Section

MCBA offers Sections in 12 legal practice areas. Each Section provides continuing legal education (CLE) and offers networking opportunities tailored to its members.

Section Chairs develop CLE programs, organize regular section meetings, and administer registrations and section revenue. Members of the MCBA Board of Directors serve as Section Chairs and must practice law in the section specialty practice area.
