MSBA Membership News

MSBA Membership Updates
By Janice Jones-Branch

ENCOURAGE A STUDENT, PARALEGAL OR LAW OFFICE ASSISTANT OR ADMINISTRATOR TO BECOME AN MSBA ASSOCIATE MEMBER

     MSBA associate membership was developed to encourage the participation of law students, law office assistants and law office administrators in the MSBA. Most MSBA publications, Sections, departments and vendor discounts are available to Associate Members.

     Student associate members particularly benefit from free membership in the Young Lawyers Section. The Young Lawyers Section sponsors the Career Center, which includes an electronic system that connects employers and recruiters with lawyers, paralegals, law clerks and administrative assistants.

     All MSBA Practice Sections are open for Associate Members to join. Many offer events, activities and newsletters that can assist students and legal professionals with expanding professional knowledge and development.

     MSBA associate membership requires sponsorship by a current MSBA member (with the exception of law students). To request an associate membership application for a colleague ($50-$75 annual fee) or student ($25 annual fee) that you know, call the MSBA Membership Department at (410) 685-7878. Associate and Section membership applications can also be processed online here..


NOTICE TO ALL MARYLAND ATTORNEYS WHO SERVE THE ASIAN COMMUNITY

      The Korean Bar Committee Email List is a great resource for lawyers who serve the Asian community. Join in conversations that will keep you updated on legislative issues, committee projects and law practice issues. To join, e-mail ekim@wtplaw.com.


DO YOU HAVE A COURTHOUSE ID BADGE?

     MSBA Courthouse ID Badges allow for easier access to Maryland’s courthouses. But the MSBA cannot issue badges for you on the spot; the process can take a few weeks, so apply for your badge before you need it! Go to www.msba.org and look under “Member Services” for information on obtaining your ID Badge, or call the MSBA at (410) 685-7878.
