why join

Here are some of the great reasons to become an AABA Member!

The publications alone are worth the cost of annual dues. You'll receive the AABA Annual Pictorial Directory, the most comprehensive lawyer and judge directory in Anne Arundel County, which also includes a complete directory of government agencies. Every month the Barrister reports everything from changes in the law to practical tips that will help with the business side of your practice. The Barrister brings you up-to-date news about your association, your fellow attorneys, continuing education, career opportunities, practice advice, and more.

As a professional society with a membership of over 1,100 attorneys, the AABA provides many services to our members, including a Lawyer Referral and Information Service, a program that makes 150 referrals each month to participating attorneys, generating 1,800 referrals per year.

Throughout the year we offer continuing legal education, networking and service opportunities for our members through our many committees, including Family Law, Criminal Law and Estate Planning. Check out the AABA's active committees. You can play a role in developing legal policy in areas of special interest to you. The personal rewards of extending your legal knowledge through this forum can have a direct impact on the success of your practice.

Of course, we have to mention two of the most revered benefits, our annual crab feast, which is attended by half the membership and is free to all members, and our lawyers' softball league another tradition which involves a very large representation of our members in friendly competition throughout the summer.

AABA events offer an opportunity to exchange ideas with colleagues and sharpen your skills through instructional sessions and presentations by prominent members of your profession.
The Anne Arundel Bar Association is one of your best professional bargains.
We look forward to serving you in the future.
