Empowering the Future of the Legal Profession

Sponsor the ABA Center for Bar Leadership

For over four decades, the ABA Center for Bar Leadership has been the cornerstone of excellence in bar governance, leadership, and innovation. As the primary connection between the American Bar Association and the state, metro, local, and special-focus bar associations, the CBL equips bar leaders with the tools, insights, and networks they need to lead with confidence and clarity.

Each March, the Bar Leadership Institute convenes in Chicago for three transformative days of learning, collaboration, and strategic development. Designed for incoming bar presidents and their chief staff executives, this premier program delivers expert-led sessions on board governance, communication, and leadership—preparing participants to be visionary stewards of their professional bar associations.
