Welcome! The WCBA is essential for lawyers practicing law in Washtenaw County. Members value the local insight, recognition, and relationships. Immediate benefits also include the publicly accessible member directory (searchable by area of law) and the rotating “Meet a WCBA Attorney” feature found on most of our pages.
If you are a WCBA member, please add to your profile to make the most of these and other benefits. If you are a potential member, we hope you decide to join! If you are a member of the public, we hope this site is a useful tool for finding a Washtenaw County lawyer or other legal resources.
July/August President's Message
Greetings fellow members of the Washtenaw County Bar Association! It is such an honor to be writing to you as the President of this amazing organization. I intend my stewardship as President of the WCBA to follow the fine examples all of the past presidents have set for me, including those of Elizabeth Jolliffe (from whom I am taking the gavel this year). I want to expressly thank her for all she has done – not just for all of her hard work with the WCBA, but also for all the advice she has given me as a mentor and as a friend. I cannot wait to continue the terrific programs she spearheaded this past year –not to mention team-up again as two-time defending champions at the 2020 Annual Trivia Night!
