We invite attorneys to join the Cumberland County Bar Association. Below is a list of some of the many programs and activities which are provided with membership in the Cumberland County Bar Association (CCBA).
We also provide our membership the option to belong to our Lawyer Referral Service. An application for the LRS will be sent to you after you are admitted to the CCBA. The CCBA dues for a newly admitted attorney are free and so is the Pennsylvania Bar Association (PBA). Thereafter dues are $145.00 per year for a Regular membership (attorneys with primary practice within CumberlandCounty).
If you do not qualify for a regular membership, you can join as a Social member. Social membership fees are $85 per year from July 1 through June 30 and membership entitles you to attend all activities and to be a member of any committee. Social members may not hold office or vote.
