Austin Bar Puts Members First

Cultivating a Legal Community to Support You

A “return to office” in 2021 means different things for many. For the Austin Bar Association, it’s a renewed focus on our most vital resource—YOU! Our members are at the forefront of everything we do. There’s no better time to get reacquainted with us and reinvigorated by taking advantage of our member benefits and participating in the many sections and events we offer.

Continuing to engage members and recruiting new ones is a top priority. We’ve planned an exciting year of activities to do just that. Below (on page 8) is a brief list of some of our upcoming events. You’ll find information on these events and much more throughout this publication.
