ASSOCIATIONS
Directory
2011
2012
November 2011
Dear Bar Presidents:
We are pleased to provide you with the 2011-202 Affinity Bar Associations Directory with current
information on active voluntary Michigan bar associations and their leaders. The directory also
includes information on your Board of Commissioners and Representative Assembly members.
This is a resource we use throughout the year to help connect State Bar members with bar
associations throughout the state and to help connect the public to those associations. In addition
to the directory, we offer several resources to support your work as a bar leader. Some of those
include
Four free sets of electronic mailing labels for members in your area
Website resources including links to your bar association websites
www.michbar.org/resources/localspecialbar.cfm
Online calendar of bar association activities on the State Bar homepage www.michbar.org
(Submit your events to Jennifer and she will post them on the site!)
Connections electronic newsletter
Law Day, Constitution Day and other law-related education resources
Speakers on State Bar programs like the Practice Management Resource Center, Public
Policy Resource Center, Justice Initiatives including pro bono support and equal access
initiatives, Diversity in the Profession, and Lawyers and Judges Assistance.
State Bar President Julie Fershtman would like an opportunity to attend one of your meetings to
share talking points about her 2011-2012 State Bar focus. Some of those include the challenge of
rapidly changing technology, globalization of the practice, unauthorized practice of law, new
opportunities for lawyers and the public presented by the Solutions on Self-Help Task Force, and
resources to help lawyers at their desk through the Practice Management Resource Center. Let
Candace know if you’d like Julie to attend a meeting and visit with your members.
Don’t forget that the Bar Leadership Forum is set for June 8-9, 2012 on Mackinac Island, and the
Annual Meeting will take place in Grand Rapids on September 19-21. Please contact either of us if
we can help support you in your work as a bar leader this year, or if we can connect you to any
State Bar resources. Good luck to you!
Sincerely,
Candace Crowley Jennifer Williams
Director of External Development Administrative Assistant

Guidelines for the Programs and Services
Commissioners Committee Regarding Recognition
of Local and Special Purpose Bar Associations
(Adopted by the SBM Board of Commissioners) Revised July 2006
Recognition of local and special purpose bar associations, listings of local and special purpose bar associations in the
Directory Edition of the Michigan Bar Journal, participation in the local bar president-elect conference sponsored by the
State Bar of Michigan, and involvement in related State Bar activities shall be limited to associations which comply with the
following conditions:
1. The primary purposes and activities of the association shall be to seek to aid in promoting improvements
in the administration of justice and advancements in jurisprudence, to improve relations between the legal
profession and the public, and to promote the interests of the local legal community.
2. A copy of the bylaws or charters of such associations shall be filed with the State Bar, and any change in
said bylaws or charters should be filed within ten (10) days after its adoption.
3. It shall have a presidential year that ends between the dates of April 30 and June 30.
4. The name of the bar association shall not be misleading or deceptive.
5. Each local bar association shall hold at least one general meeting per year.
6. All local bar associations shall be divided as follows:
(a) General purpose local bar associations, and
(b) Special purpose bar associations.
7. Membership in general purpose local bar associations may not be limited by requirements, other than
geographical, the principal objective of which is unrelated to the purposes and activities set forth in (1)
above.
8. Membership in special purpose associations may not be limited by requirements, other than geographical,
the principal objective of which is unrelated to the purposes and activities set forth in (1) above, except as
follows:
(a) Statements of emphasis on specific areas of practice of law are permissible.
(b) Associations may require affiliation through bylaw or other membership limitation to a parent
association, which has been recognized as a special purpose association, or to a local bar
association that has been recognized as a general purpose local bar association. (The affiliate
special purpose associations shall be recognized only in conjunction with such a parent or local bar
association. In all affairs pertaining to recognized bar associations and the State Bar of Michigan
only the vote of the parent or local bar association shall be considered.)
(c) Associations may be limited to members holding or having held public office such as the judges’
association, prosecutors’ associations, etc. restricting membership to those persons having held or
who now hold such offices.
(d) Associations may express interest in particular racial or ethnic heritage, but may not invidiously
discriminate by excluding anyone seeking membership who shares that interest solely on grounds of
race, color, gender, national origin, religion, age, handicap or sexual orientation.
It is the intent of these guidelines to include other bar associations in the work and activities of the State Bar of
Michigan. Uncertainties in the application of these guidelines to the bylaws of a bar association should generally be
resolved in favor of inclusion.
