Cumberland County Bar Association

About

The Cumberland County Bar Association was formed by adoption of its constitution and bylaws in 1901. The Association was incorporated December 29, 1994. The Association's purpose is to promote education, fellowship, and ethics among local lawyers and to foster public awareness of the legal system and the individual's rights and responsibilities under our system.

As early as 1935 the Association was concerned about and involved in legal aid and actively supported the formation of Legal Services. It still supports, through financial assistance, Mid Penn Legal Services in providing legal aid to persons with limited resources. The Association was instrumental in having indices in the Recorder of Deeds Office and in having that office collect realty transfer taxes.

Originally, the Association often met in the courtroom and adjourned to either the Country Club or Allenberry for dinner where officers were installed. The county bar was, from the beginning, a social, collegiate organization, and remains so today. The Association now has more than 400 members. Since its formation, the Association has taken on the many programs listed in this brochure, hired an executive director, one full time and one part-time employees, and acquired a building to provide a home for all its activities and some of its events.
