Title edit
Louisville Bar Association
Description edit
Mission: promote justice, professional excellence and respect for the law, improve public access to the judicial system, provide law-related services to the community, and serve our members.
More than a century ago on January 13, 1900, Edward J. McDermott gathered a group of lawyers and elected James S. Pirtle as their chairman. A committee chaired by McDermott prepared the group's constitution and bylaws, and Pirtle was eventually elected to serve as the association's first president. There were 178 charter members.
As the LBA enters its second century, the group is still strong and vibrant and it continues to promote the legal profession. Today the association has more than 3,200 members, placing it among the 40 largest local bars in the country. Its programs and activities are supported by member dues, seminar fees, commissions on client referral and placement services, publications revenue, and grant funding.
