The Evansville Bar Association was incorporated on April 22, 1911. This was the formalization of a group of like-minded practitioners that had been meeting together since 1894. Our founders had three stated goals:

• The study and development of law as a science.
• The elevation of the standing and dignity of the profession.
• The establishment of a law library.

Today, we have 535 Attorney and Paralegal members. The mission of the Evansville Bar Association is to enhance the practice of law, cultivate professional excellence, promote high ethical standards and uphold the honor of the profession. We strive to accomplish this mission by sponsoring a variety of continuing legal education and seminars, social events and section meetings/activities throughout the year and providing public services including the Lawyer Referral Service (a program that refers members of the public to attorneys) and Talk to a Lawyer (free legal advice by telephone).
