About

Washoe County Bar Association was incorporated in 1905 to serve the legal community in Reno and Sparks, Nevada. It has just under 1000 members throughout Northern 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 1000 members in northern Nevada and to the public through professional and community programs. Click to read our bylaws , approved October 25, 2022

The Writ is a bi-monthly newsletter with association news, columns on legal news, classified ads and a calendar. You can find the most recent issue of the Writ in PDF format & advertising rates on the Publications link.

The WCBA Pictorial Directory is a reference to the courts, government agencies, law firms and individual attorneys in northern Nevada. Directory order forms and advertising rates are available on the Publications page.

WCBA’s Judicial Performance Survey is held in even-numbered years to evaluate the performance of judges in the Nevada Supreme Court, Nevada Court of Appeals, Second Judicial District Court, Washoe County Justice of the Peace Courts and Reno/Sparks Municipal Courts.

WCBA meets monthly on the second Wednesday of each month (except for January, July, August, and November) at 12 noon. Luncheons frequently feature continuing legal education along with speakers and programs of special interest to our members. See the Events Page for events and reservation forms.

WCBA supports the Washoe County Law Library and the volunteer lawyers program of Northern Nevada Legal Aid (formerly titled Washoe Legal Services) through assessments from our membership’s dues. In fiscal year 2021-2022 the WCBA contributed over $10,000 to each entity.
