A Word From Our Sections

The Tarrant County Bar Association has eighteen (18) sections consisting of members with similar professional interests. Each section plans and holds an average of eight meetings a year and elects its own officers. Section meetings afford opportunities for interprofessional liaison as well as specialized continuing legal education. If you have renewed your dues and included your section dues, you will begin receiving notices about upcoming events. This is a good way to get CLE credit and network with others in your area of law, all during the workday.

If you are interested in joining a section, login to your MyTCBA portal and update your subscriptions. Have questions about joining a TCBA section? Contact Lauren St. Clair at laurensc@tarrantbar.org.
