Practice
CLE credit, practice-area committees, forms libraries, and fee dispute resolution.

Section luncheons, bench-and-bar dialogue, and colleagues a phone call away.

Our Mission
A century of service
Katherine M. Whitfield
Executive Director
The Riverbend County Bar Association exists to uphold the integrity of the legal profession, to support the attorneys who practice here, and to widen the public’s access to competent counsel. Founded in 1924 by twenty-eight practitioners, the Association has held to that charge for a hundred years.
Our work is carried out by more than thirty practice committees and an elected Board of Directors drawn from firms, government offices, and the judiciary. Members give thousands of pro bono hours each year through legal aid clinics, veterans’ advice nights, and a standing partnership with the county’s self-help center.
“A bar association is only as strong as the obligations its members are willing to keep to one another and to the public.”
