Celebrate the CBA’s 150th Anniversary by pledging 150 minutes of service in 2025. Your time—whether through pro bono legal work, mentoring, or volunteering in the community—can make a lasting difference.

To help you reach your goal, the CBA is hosting service events across Connecticut, giving members the chance to serve together and strengthen our communities.

Every participant will be recognized throughout the anniversary year and receive a complimentary CBA t-shirt as a thank you. Join us in proving the collective power of lawyers in service—because every minute matters.
