Member Benefits
Why join BADC
Lawyer Referral Service
Our Lawyer Referral Service connects potential clients directly with an attorney in the practice area they need. BADC members can join the referral list at a discounted rate.
Networking Opportunities
BADC membership means networking with other legal professionals, at our annual events and at the happy hours and networking events we host free for members. Bring your business cards and join us.
Professional Development
The DC Bar doesn't require CLE, but staying current matters. BADC members can attend occasional CLE courses on the latest trends in the field.
Advocacy Opportunities
BADC membership gives you access to advocacy opportunities that bring positive change to the communities we serve. As a voluntary bar association, BADC faces few restrictions on advocacy, so it can work directly with legislatures for meaningful change.
