Invitations to attend monthly dinner meetings and special events - Our monthly dinner meetings feature a variety of
speakers on diverse topics. Special events include the Kick-Off Barbecue, the Holiday Party, Spring and Fall CLEs, Professionalism
and Law Day Luncheons and other fun and informative events. These and other social events, such as the Young Lawyer Division’s
Happy Hour, give lawyers and judges an opportunity to meet regularly in a relaxed and friendly setting.

Continuing Legal Education (CLE) - Every year BCBA sponsors or co-sponsors accredited seminars on Professionalism,
Legal Ethics, Family Law or some other area of interest, often featuring local judges and attorneys. Our goal
is to provide ten (10) hours per year here in Brevard for a very modest fee to our members.
Courthouse access badges - BCBA members are eligible to obtain photographic identification cards allowing
admission to all our courthouses without being searched by security.
Membership Directory - Every year BCBA members receive our pictorial membership directory at no cost. The
directory includes each member's name, firm affiliation, address, and telephone and facsimile numbers, plus listings
for all judges and court personnel, the State Attorney's offices, the Public Defender's offices, Law Library, and
many other agencies and services. Specialty listings are also available. A quick reference telephone list of our
members is conveniently placed in the back of the directory.
The Monthly Newsletter - BCBA members receive The Ex Parte with news and announcements of interest
to our members plus directory updates, law library news, local administrative orders, and classified ads.
Website - The BCBA also has this website where members can access the latest information on BCBA activities.
Young Lawyers Division - BCBA has an active Young Lawyers Division which sponsors regular Happy Hours and a number of service projects.
These projects give newer lawyers the chance to become involved and have a good time while doing so. Associate membership is also available for older lawyers.
Quiet Room - The Quiet Room is a private room in the Law Library exclusively for use by the BCBA. It has a phone
and fax for use in making local calls, and a modem outlet for your laptop computers. It allows the attorneys a quiet,
private place to go to make a phone call, receive and return faxes, or prepare for court.
Advancing Professionalism - BCBA members become involved by participation on one of our standing committees, such
as the Judicial Liaison Committee, or by signing up to work on the Directory or The Ex Parte, or by getting involved in such
community projects as Law Week and the High School Mock Trial Competition.
