Are new attorneys given a free membership the first year?
We do not offer free memberships to new attorneys; however, we understand that new practitioners face a much more arduous financial burden in most cases than do their more experienced colleagues. That is why our dues structure is graduated according to time in the profession. A new admittee pays $70 for the first year of Columbus Bar benefits. New government attorneys pay even less. Membership in a bar association should not be financially crippling and it won’t be so in the Columbus Bar. Click here to join online or click here for a hardcopy application.
