True to its roots as the oldest bar association in Michigan and one of the three oldest in the country, the Detroit Bar Association serves Detroit’s legal community through networking, practice development and community service. Members of all ages and experiences continue Detroit’s tradition of the ethical, successful practice of law and fair administration of justice. Events include: Jingle Mingle, Pins ‘n’ Pinstripes, School Partnership Program, Celebrating Our Diverse Bar, Barristers Spring Bash, Raising the Bar Annual Dinner, Summer Breeze, Inn of Court, and Archer Awards. As former president George Roumell declared upon receiving the organization’s inaugural Frank Murphy Award at the 175th annual meeting, Raising the Bar, “When God asks at the pearly gates what I have to say for myself, I will proudly tell him I was a Detroit lawyer!”
