The MLBA is an inclusive bar association that promotes equality and justice in Minnesota’s legal profession and in the community. We build community between members through quality educational programs, networking opportunities, and social events.
MLBA Conference:
Each year, the MLBA Conference attracts over a hundred attorneys and law students for a day of education and networking. The MLBA Conference has become the premier conference in our region for legal education on issues facing lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer clients and attorneys.
In addition to hosting nationally known keynote speakers, the MLBA Conference includes breakout sessions tailored to general practice and LGBTQ+ legal issues and plenary panels focused on key issues of developing law. Attendees will have access to continuing legal education credits.
