Sections and Committees

The Chester County Bar Association is operationally divided into sections and committees.

Sections

Each section of the Bar association focuses in on a particular area of law. These sections typically meet at least once a month. The meetings are part educational and part social - where the latest topics of concern are discussed. Section memberships are free, but we do ask that you indicate on the Section and Committee signup sheet at the beginning of the year that you wish to be a member of a particular section.

Section meetings are on the calendar of events and we also email notices prior to the meetings - if you wish to attend and have not received the "RSVP" e-mail, please call the Bar Association at 610.692.1889 to indicate your attendance.
