Coming Events

Message from the President

Welcome to the website of the Howard County Bar Association! Whether you are here because you are a member of our association, a fellow lawyer looking for information and membership opportunities, or someone seeking an attorney in our geographic area located in the center of Maryland and along the Baltimore-Washington corridor, we thank you for stopping by.

The mission of the Howard County Bar Association is to promote excellence in the practice of law and the administration of justice through service, education, advocacy and collegiality for the benefit of the community and our profession.

For our more than 400 member attorneys, we offer a number of monthly lunch meetings, Continuing Legal Education seminars, our monthly newsletter, The Barrister, a membership directory, a new lawyer welcome and orientation program, as well as social events such as our annual holiday party, our Spring Judicial reception, our benefit golf tournament, group outings at Oriole games and much more. We also offer our attorneys the opportunity to become involved with committees dealing with everything from practice concerns of young lawyers and family law and criminal practitioners to community outreach and education matters such as Law Day.

Many of our member attorneys perform numerous volunteer pro bono services for those in need, and access to justice and service to the community are vital elements of the Howard County Bar Association. Each year, we raise funds from member contributions for important programs such as Head Start, and we participate in rehabilitating homes though the Rebuilding Together initiative.

When it comes to finding the right attorney to help with a legal matter, the Howard County Bar Association can assist through our Lawyer Referral service which matches clients with attorneys in most legal subject areas.

There is information about all of our programs contained within the pages of this website. We hope you will find this site both interesting and helpful. Please contact us with any questions or comments so we may continue to improve this site and to improve our service to both our members and the Howard County community.

Thanks and best wishes,

Mark Muffoletto
