Join the SCBA

Member Application and Committee Sign-Up

Membership Information
Your membership will entitle you to reduced rates to attend our dinner and cocktail functions (like Our "Meet the Clerks" reception and the always popular Holiday party), our great seminars that touch on topics of local interest and for which we generally receive CLE credit; and our outings (like the night at the Somerset Patriots and the Annual Golf & Tennis outing).

We also provide opportunities for public service in our activities such as Law Day and the High School Mock Trial Competition or through participation in the very popular "Legal Runaround 5K Race (in conjunction with the Annual Tour of Somerville - US Bicycling's oldest competition) and the "Meet the Chefs" fundraisers, sponsored by the Somerset County Bar foundation.

Most importantly, you can share in the camaraderie and networking opportunities our Bar Association has always provided. Our web site enhances our lawyer referral service, and highlights additional programs, seminars and benefits.

As always, Law Clerks for the 2011-12 term and our friends at Legal Services are free.

Just fill out the Member Application Form and return it as soon as possible with the appropriate check made payable to the SCBA.

Affiliate membership is available to persons who are not members of the Somerset County Bar Association or any other county bar, but are active as a Paralegal/Legal Assistant. A person qualified through education, training or work experience and employed or retained by a law office or governmental agency or other entity in a capacity or function that requires the performance, under the direction and supervision of a lawyer, of specifically delegated substantive legal work, that, for the most part, requires sufficient knowledge of legal concepts, that if there were no Paralegal or Legal Assistant, the lawyer would perform the task. Affiliate members enjoy all benefits of membership except that they may not vote or hold office in the Association or serve as Chair of an Association Committee. Affiliate members pay dues and assessments as established by the Board of Trustees of the Association ("Board").

Pass the word and tell your friends, associates and partners to join.
