    Become a Member of the National LGBT Bar Association.

    JOIN TODAY!

    It’s Quick, Easy and Secure.

    LGBT Bar membership is open to all legal professionals and law students without regard to age, race, religion, gender, color, national origin, ancestry, disability, political affiliation, sexual orientation or gender identity. The LGBT Bar actively seeks the involvement of individuals from every segment of our diverse community, and particularly welcomes the participation of people of color and persons with disabilities.

    Membership Benefits

    • Receive Breaking News

      Members receive not only the LGBT Bar e-newsletter, but also news alerts and invitations targeted by geographic region and practice area.

    • Build Relationships

      The LGBT Bar maintains various resources, including directories and online community platforms, intended to help members build the relationships they need to succeed. These communities include Family Law, Trust & Estate Planning, Law Professors and Legal Scholars, Patent Law, and Corporate Counsel.

    • Outstanding CLE at a Reasonable Cost

      As a member, you will receive discounted registration to attend the annual Lavender Law® Conference and Career Fair, which includes over 40 workshops available for continuing legal education (CLE) credit in approved jurisdictions. The LGBT Bar also periodically offers video and audio programs available for CLE credit.

    • Access our Job Board

      The National LGBT Bar Association’s Job Board allows LGBTQ+ legal professionals and law students to connect with employers interested in LGBTQ+ diversity and inclusion.

    • Connect with and Celebrate Friends and Colleagues

      The LGBT Bar hosts events like the Lavender Law® Conference and Career Fair, Out & Proud Corporate Counsel Award receptions and the Allies for Justice Award receptions, which provide unique opportunities to honor esteemed colleagues and network with LGBTQ+ legal professionals and law students.

    • Participate in our Committees and Working Groups

      One of the many benefits of an LGBT Bar membership is the opportunity to be part of the action! Volunteering on a committee or working group is a great way to join colleagues with whom you share interests and work responsibilities. Committee work provides an ideal way to get involved in the work of the LGBT Bar as well as opportunities for networking and for sharing information, ideas and best practices.
