2008 President’s Message

Welcome to the updated web site of the Lackawanna Bar Association!

The Lackawanna Bar Association was established in 1893 and remains committed to its fundamental premise that the practice of law is a noble profession and that we professionals that make the cares of our clients part of our daily concerns have the capacity to enhance the lives of those we serve.

The Lackawanna Bar Association (the "LBA") is presently comprised of more than 600 lawyers.

The Lackawanna Bar Association's activities include offering continuing legal education to its professional members, providing fellowship and support to professional members, and educational and community service projects to the Lackawanna County community.  Many Lackawanna Bar Association attorneys volunteer their services and provide financial contribution to support equal access to the judicial system through Lackawanna Pro Bono, Incorporated.

Through this web site, the Lackawanna Bar Association hopes to improve its public outreach and service to members of the Lackawanna Bar Association and the public in general.  We hope that you share our excitement about the possibilities presented by this web site.  We will work diligently through this next year to provide additional upgrades to the web site.  Should you have any comments or suggestions concerning the web site, or if you wish to explore membership, please contact the Lackawanna Bar Association.
