"The Jacksonville Bar Association has provided me over 45 years of opportunity to associate with many of Jacksonville’s finest citizens — members of JBA interested in helping make our town the remarkable place it is, through multiple efforts of facilitating efficient legal administration and serving the social, legal and personal needs of our broad based community in caring, unselfish fashion."
Douglas J. Milne, Douglas J. Milne Law and Mediation

"I wanted to get involved in our legal community and break away from my old routine of work and family only. I was encouraged by another member to join the JBA Law Week Committee. It has been a great way to meet local lawyers and provide services in the community. The luncheons, CLEs and events are also a great way to meet colleagues, learn and start a new routine. Joining the JBA helped me achieve a better work-life balance."
Kelli Lueckert, Three Rivers Legal Services staff attorney

"The JBA has fostered my growth and development as a young attorney. Through my involvement, I’ve gained several contacts that have assisted me in addressing unfamiliar legal issues. Additionally, I’ve been able to reconnect with several former colleagues and classmates. Last but not least, the events are fun. This is why I belong to the JBA."
Brandon Campbell, The Fortune Law Offices

"After several years of inconsistent JBA membership, I recognized the impact of JBA throughout the local legal community and the opportunities it presents its members. I especially support JBA’s community outreach efforts, like advocating for JALA and increased pro bono participation, or raising money for local charities through events like the YLS Chili Cook-off."

"I’m a proud member of The Jacksonville Bar Association for too many reasons to list. The JBA provides its members with the opportunity to participate in continuing legal education courses, the ability to strengthen and nurture relationships among colleagues and countless opportunities to give back to the community — one of my favorite ways to invest my time. Above all, one of the JBA’s best assets is its driven and inspiring network of members. It’s one of the greatest professional groups around, so if you haven’t already, join today."
