Our Continuing Legal Education Department offers seminars each year to attorneys. KCBA offers many networking opportunities to its members, including socials, the annual awards dinner and the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. luncheon. Our monthly newspaper, the Bar Bulletin, features articles about substantive areas of the law as well as information about KCBA programs and activities. Attorneys enjoy a variety of benefits through membership in the organization, including group insurance plans and discounts on services and products.

The Lawyer Referral Service benefits both the public and KCBA members who register for the service. Referrals are made after the callers are screened by an intake interviewer.
