Home to North Florida's Legal Community Since 1897

Organized in February, 1897 with 33 members, the Jacksonville Bar Association's mission is to encourage collegiality and serve our members in the practice of law, aid in the administration of justice, and foster respect for the law and the legal profession. The Jacksonville Bar Association serves as the forum for our profession – willing to take action and try innovative ways to better serve our membership and the public.

Association membership is open to all Lawyers, inspiring members to participate regularly in Bar activities. Activities are designed to promote the highest levels of professionalism and ethics, unselfish service to the community, positive relations between the bench and the bar, and camaraderie among the members, so that we all live up to the highest ideals of the profession at work and in the community.
