The DCBA was incorporated in 1920 to serve the lawyers of Miami-Dade County. Its mission is to promote the administration of justice, to enhance attorney professionalism, and to cultivate positive relationships among all members of the Bar. The DCBA provides attorneys with opportunities for business development, mentoring services, and CLEs to ensure that members can network with others in the legal profession and maintain a level of excellence in their own practice. The DCBA also provides public information for non-members, including legal assistance and referrals to Legal Aid, Legal Services, and other governmental agencies.
