As part of the CBA's 150th Anniversary, every member is invited to dedicate at least 150 minutes to pro bono or community service during 2025. To help you achieve this goal, the CBA is providing several upcoming community service opportunities, which are listed below. Members who participate in the 150 Minutes of Service Pledge will be recognized on the list at the bottom of this page and throughout the anniversary year. 

Participants in community service events will receive a complimentary Connecticut Bar Association t-shirt as a thank you for their support.
