MSBA is the state’s leading voice for the legal profession. Through its sections, Laws Committee, and leadership, MSBA remains actively involved in the legislative session. MSBA reviews and monitors bills, and engages in advocacy efforts through written and oral testimony, meetings with legislators, and member-wide advocacy campaigns. 

For the past three years, the MSBA has posted positions on bills taken by the MSBA on the Advocacy page of our website. Those bill positions have appeared on our MSBA Legislative Action Center (powered by TrackBill).  MSBA also posts bills that may be relevant to a specific practice area, organized by law practice area pages, at https://www.msba.org/advocacy/

We hope that MSBA members will continue to benefit from being able to access bills introduced before the General Assembly in their practice areas.  We encourage members to reach out to their section’s legislative liaison and become involved in advocacy efforts, as lawmakers in Annapolis benefit greatly from our members’ expertise.

The MSBA monitors hundreds of bills each session and advocates on behalf of the profession. The ability to make a difference in Annapolis is just one of the many reasons we need all attorneys to belong to the MSBA to ensure we remain a strong and vibrant association. Thank you for your support.
