Monroe County Bar Association
The following excerpt is from the Monroe County Bar Association website:
“The overwhelming majority of lawyers who practice in Rochester or in our Monroe County suburbs, as well as members of our Judiciary, comprise a dynamic and community minded group known at the Monroe County Bar Association. Our 2200+ members actively demonstrate their committment to serving both the interests of the legal community, and the interests of all who reside in our upstate community and who cherish the social order that the law provides.
- Mentoring grammar school kids in one of Rochester's inner city schools as part of our Lawyers for Learning program;
- Advising high school students in preparing for MCBA-sponsored mock trial competition;
- Serving their colleagues as teachers in one of the MCBA's many, highly regarded Continuing Legal Education seminars; or
- Brainstorming with other members and Association staff at meetings of the more than 30 committees and sections of the MCBA.
Throughout its 115 year existence, the Monroe County Bar has earned statewide and national recognition as an innovative leader among local voluntary bars. The MCBA's recent success in uniting the Association and all Rochester area legal services providers under a single roof in the Telesca Center for Justice in downtown Rochester is the latest example of our transforming a vision into reality.”
The Monroe County Bar Association has also started www.howtochoosealawyer.com, a website to assist members of the public in choosing an appropriate attorney for their needs.
