BERGEN COUNTY BAR

The Bergen County Bar Association is the professional association of the Bergen County Bar. Founded in December, 1898 we have been committed to professionalism in the Bergen County legal community for over a century... Overall the progress of the Association can be measured by the these simple statistics: on July 31, 1900 an entry in the minutes of the Board of Trustees reflected annual dues of $1.00, a $5.00 initiation fee, and total cash on hand of approximately $300.00. Today, with a budget exceeds $500,000.00 (despite dues among the lowest of any county bar Association in the state), and through the Bergen County Lawyer Referral Program, seminars and the Association's nonprofit educational and philanthropic adjunct, the Bergen County Bar Foundation, the Association serves the profession and the general public in ways its founders could never have envisioned - or hoped for.
