About WCBA
 

Washoe County Bar Association was incorporated in 1905 to serve the legal community in Reno and Sparks, Nevada.

The Bar's mission is to further professionalism, ethics and service in the practice of law.

Today, Washoe County Bar Association offers services reflecting that mission to its 1300 members in northern Nevada and to the public through professional and community programs.
