Maryland State Bar Association - Calendar of Events

The Maryland State Bar Association Courthouse Identification Badge is available to any attorney who has been admitted to practice law in this state, who is currently a member of the bar in good standing, and who is currently certified by the Court of Appeals as an active practitioner.

Mentoring Program

The MSBA sponsors this program to assist newer, less experienced members of the bar. It provides a resource for attorneys to seek and receive advice or discuss concern about law office management, escrow accounts, procedural issues and many other topics.

Promotion of Continuing Legal Education (CLE) Programs and Publications
Only MSBA sponsored continuing legal education (CLE) programs or publications may be promoted or advertised on the MSBA email discussion lists, website, e–newsletter, Bar Bulletin, or any other MSBA publications whether electronic or hardcopy. For the purposes of applying this policy, a CLE program is defined as a legal education program that is offered by a CLE provider accredited by any mandatory CLE state or states, and/or a legal education program for which credit is offered or has been applied for. The MSBA does not provide e–mail addresses to other CLE providers or publishers, or any outside vendor. The MSBA will not sell mailing labels to any other CLE provider.
