Welcome! Thank you for your interest in the Association
of the Bar of the City of New York, one of the nation’s oldest
and most influential bar associations.
The City Bar has played a leading role in the legal world. Our origins
are traced to 1870 when a group of lawyers fought to rid the courts and
City Hall of corruption. More than 135 years later, the City Bar continues

variety of professional services and opportunities for personal growth.
