Wildfires across the Los Angeles area are expected to become the costliest such disaster in U.S. history.

About

About This Business

One of the primary goals of the association is to provide assistance to the public in several capacities, such as the Lawyer Referral Service, Notary Public Training & Testing, Complaint Administration & Investigation for Summit County Attorneys, Judicial Candidate Ratings, and more.

Outreach programs such as Ask an Attorney and Legal Clinics are held throughout the year. These and other events are supported by Akron Bar Association members who volunteer their time and expertise.

The Akron Bar Association sponsors over 200 hours of continuing legal education each year. In addition to live and video CLE seminars, we offer admissions training for the Northern District of Ohio Federal Court, New Lawyer Training, and online self-study CLE seminars.
