Become a member of the Nashville Bar Association
The Nashville Bar Association exists to improve the practice of law through education of its members and the public, service by its members to the public, and fellowship among its diverse members. For 200 years, the NBA has been the center of the legal community for attorneys practicing in Nashville and surrounding areas.
WHAT'S IN IT FOR YOU?
More than just an essential source of timely information and resources, the NBA builds community and camaraderie among our members, serving as a gathering place for lawyers to be among colleagues and friends sharing stories and advice. Our large and diverse membership bring their depth of experience and backgrounds to our programs—they are judges, in-house counsel, law students, paralegals, educators, and everything in between, spanning from public and private sectors, large multi-state firms, to small firms and solo practices.
You may also download our membership form and mail it with your payment to Nashville Bar Association. Once your application is received and processed, you will receive a confirmation email. At that time, you will be able to set up your login information on NashvilleBar.org and complete your unique My NBA profile page.
