Join us in celebrating 150 years of the Connecticut Bar Association
—start referring today and save on your membership!

In celebration of the Connecticut Bar Association’s 150th anniversary, we’re launching the Refer a Friend program! Invite a colleague to join the CBA, and if they become a new member, you’ll receive a 20% discount on your 2025-2026 membership renewal.

Referral Program Duration: April 1, 2025 – September 30, 2025

How to Refer:

  1. Log into your CBA account and go to Manage Profile > Community > Referrals.
  2. Click “Refer a Friend” and enter their email address with a personal message.
  3. The system will send them an invitation with a unique referral link.
  4. When they join using your referral link, the system will automatically track your referral.

Tracking Your Referrals:
You can check the status of your referrals anytime under Manage Profile > Referrals.

How to Redeem Your Discount

Once your referral successfully joins, you will receive an email from the CBA with a promo code to be used at the time of your 2025-2026 membership renewal giving you a 20% discount off your dues. If you have already renewed, a refund of 20% will be issued.

This discount applies only to membership dues and does not cover Section dues, CLE Pass, Golf dues, or 1875 Society donations.

Important Details

  • Promo codes are issued within 30 days after the referred member is approved.
  • The promo code expires one year from the date issued.
  • No self-referrals (you cannot refer yourself).
  • Only one discount can be applied per membership renewal (discounts cannot be stacked).
  • Promo codes are non-transferable (they must be used by the referring member).
