Approximately 325 lawyers and judges are members of the Boone County Bar Association. Membership qualifications and dues are set out in the BCBA Bylaws. The association's 2009 budget in PDF format can be seen by clicking HERE.
The BCBA holds monthly membership meetings, usually at lunchtime on the second Wednesday of each month in the lower-level meeting room of the Boone Tavern, 811 E. Walnut St., Columbia, Missouri. Most of these meetings feature a speaker on a topic of interest to lawyers, and many of them provide continuing legal education credit.
Special events each year include:
| Social gatherings of lawyers and judges in the 13th Judicial Circuit (Boone and Callaway counties), which allow them to interact and get to know each other outside the more formal courtroom atmosphere. |
| A picnic and annual meeting in September to which lawyers' families are invited. Officers are elected at this event for the program year which starts after the annual meeting. |
| A holiday dinner party in December to which lawyers and their spouses or dates are invited. |
Other BCBA activities include:
| Participation in a Bar-Schools Partnership with the Columbia Public Schools. This program includes making presentations on legal topics in the schools, conducting mock trials for student groups, and mentoring students who participate in a high-school mock trial program. |
| Activities designed to improve the administration of justice in Boone County, including working with the judges to improve local rules and procedures. |
The BCBA does not operate a job-openings service for lawyers. Lawyers interested in listing an available job or viewing job openings should visit the Missouri Bar Lawyer Placement Service at http://www.mobar.net/law/lawplace2.cgi.

The BCBA's Logo is a stylized representation of the four columns on the Boone
County Courthouse square remaining from the 1847 Boone County Courthouse. Dr. Gary Kremer, Executive Director of the State Historical Society of Missouri, presented a program on "Boone County Courthouses" to the BCBA on May 10, 2006. To see his presentation slides in PDF format, click HERE. |
