The Maryland State Bar Association is a professional, non-profit, voluntary organization comprised of over 23,000 attorneys and judges across the state of Maryland. It monitors judicial and legislative issues in the state, offers legal education opportunities and promotes leadership within its programs that ensure the delivery of quality legal services to all citizens. MSBA is committed to furthering the efficient administration of justice and equality for all under the law.
Founded in 1896, the Maryland State Bar Association celebrated its Centennial over the course of 1996, following the theme “Striving for Justice.” In addition to special events, a 300 page Centennial Book and other promotions, a public service project was an integral part of MSBA’s Centennial.
MSBA is known for its outstanding membership services, dedication to public service and voluntary pro bono efforts. MSBA offers an array of membership services and benefits for its members and works to continually better the legal profession. MSBA promotes the spirit of public service and the spirit of volunteerism. It functions as an excellent mechanism to channel the volunteer efforts of Maryland attorneys to help society, serve to those in need and tackle some of the state’s most pressing problems, like the current legal service to the poor funding crisis. The strength of MSBA lies in its members, and their willingness to volunteer for the public service.
I had a great time helping out at Law Day as a member of the Maryland State Bar Association’s Public Awareness Committee. Here is more information on the day from the MSBA:
Approximately 140 Maryland students and teachers from around the state convened for a day of law-related education and plenary sessions at MSBA’s 2014 Law Day Conference, held May 1, 2014, at Sheppard Pratt Conference Center in Baltimore. The annual program is a joint presentation by the MSBA Public Awareness Committee and the Citizenship Law-Related Education Program (CLREP)
President Dwight D. Eisenhower formally established the first Law Day in 1958, a year after ABA President Charles S. Rhyne proposed instituting a special day for celebrating America’s unique commitment to the rule of law. In 1961, Congress officially designated May 1 as Law Day. On or about that date each year, bar associations around the country present Law Day programs to enhance public understanding of and appreciation for the rule of law. This year’s program focused on “American Democracy and the Rule of Law: Why Every Vote Matters”.
