MORRIS COUNTY BAR ASSOCIATION

What MORRIS COUNTY BAR ASSOCIATION does

The Morris County Bar Association (MCBA) is a non-profit professional association founded in 1900 and headquartered at 40 Maple Avenue, Suite 2W, Morristown, New Jersey. It serves approximately 633 members — attorneys in good standing with the New Jersey Bar who live, work, or maintain an office in Morris County, as well as members of the judiciary, young lawyers, and law students/judicial clerks. The organization is governed by an elected Board of Trustees and staffed by 1-10 employees led by an Executive Director.

MCBA's product surface spans three areas: (1) member services including a tiered membership structure (General, Honorary, Young Lawyers, Law Student/Law Clerk), a weekly newsletter, free CLE seminars across multiple jurisdictions (NJ, NY, PA), practice-area committees, and two mentorship programs (Madden Mentor and Mitchell H. Cobert); (2) public-facing referral services — the Lawyer Referral Service, which connects members of the public with member attorneys across 20+ practice areas and generates over 1,000 referrals annually, and the Reduced Fee Referral Program for income-eligible litigants; and (3) community programs run jointly with the Morris County Bar Foundation (a 501(c)(3) charitable affiliate established in 1990), including the Battered Women's Legal Advocacy Project, the Street Law Program at Hanover Park High School, and the Morris County Expungement Clinic.

Revenue is derived from membership dues, an annual $200 Lawyer Referral Service enrollment fee (members select up to three practice areas), a $30 non-waivable Reduced Fee Program application fee, CLE and event registration, and corporate sponsorships. The underlying technology platform is a WordPress/Astra website; there is no proprietary technology product. Geographic scope is constrained by charter to Morris and Sussex Counties, with court-system partnership providing LRS visibility on every summons served in New Jersey.
