The Racine County Bar Association is a voluntary organization comprised of over 200 attorneys and judges, most living and practicing law in Racine County. These lawyers vary in their areas of practice, ranging from criminal law (both prosecution and defense) to estate planning, from personal injury (both plaintiffs and defendants) to family law, as well as many other areas of practice. Many judges are also members of the Bar Association. This large and diverse group of lawyers is committed to maintaining an excellent level of service, quality, and professionalism in Racine County.
​
Local lawyers volunteer to serve on non-profit boards, organize fundraiser, give advice and contribute their time to many local non-profit organizations, and provide free legal services to those unable to pay, helping to make Racine a better place to live. 

Racine is highly regarded for the quality of its attorneys and judiciary. Attorneys in our area are qualified to handle almost any type of legal matter. Our local attorneys have written books and articles, teach at local colleges and universities, argue before the Wisconsin and United States appellate courts, hold high offices in the State Bar, and are regularly ranked as some of the best attorneys in the State of Wisconsin.
Racine County Bar Association members have the knowledge and experience a client should expect, while offering a demonstrated commitment to the people of Racine County. When faced with the important decision of who to hire as an attorney, Racine residents would be well served to select a Racine County Bar Association member as their attorney.

Why should you become an RCBA member?

Here are some of the many reasons why you should become a member of the RCBA:

• We organize four business/dinner meetings each year. Traditionally, these dinners occur in May, September, November, and January. We have enjoyed local food from restaurants such as Corner House, O’Dennis!, Envi, Salute, Reef Point Brew Pub, Mike & Angelos, and more. Your membership fee includes the cost of these great meals!
• We organize 4-CLE opportunities in conjunction with our dinner meetings (usually 1 CLE per dinner meeting) as well as a 3-credit Ethics CLE in December of each year. 
• We connect you with other practicing attorneys, judges, and the Racine Community.  We create a profile for you on our website, www.racinelawyers.com. We send out notices of upcoming meetings, events, and job openings from our email at [email protected]. Membership with the RCBA will bolster your resume and your online profiles (e.g. Avvo.com). 
• We are developing new opportunities for young lawyers to connect both with each other as well as established attorneys and judges.  We hope to schedule a number of happy hour social events throughout the year.  Whether you’re a young attorney or just young at heart, these are great events to attend and free with your membership.
• We plan additional social events during the year, which have in the past included our annual golf-outing/picnic, a Brewers game trip to Miller Park, and our winter social event. 
• We organize and hold a Call of the Calendar, to memorialize and celebrate the lives of attorneys in the Racine County community who have passed away. 
• We volunteer in the Racine community, such as Law Day, as well as other public speaking opportunities. We also hold judicial polls to advise the community in upcoming elections
