The Atlanta Bar Association was organized in 1888 to serve Atlanta’s legal community and community-at-large. 

The mission of the Atlanta Bar Association is to promote professionalism and the fair administration of justice in our community and to provide programs and benefits which serve our diverse membership.

We advocate for the legal profession and help create a professional and collegial environment as well as tools to assist with the day-to-date operation of our members’ legal practice.
