The Sacramento County Bar Association’s mission is to promote justice and enhance diversity, with an emphasis on the Sacramento region’s community and legal profession.

Sacramento County Bar Association’s first recorded minutes of bar business are dated June 24, 1918, Honorable Grove L. Johnson, President. The first board meeting was held at 700 Capitol National Bank Building. Subsequent meetings were held in Department Two of the Superior Court on the second floor corner of 6th and 7th of I Street. It was not until October 21, 1949 that the Association incorporated and was granted 501(c)(6) status.

The Sacramento County Bar Association [SCBA] is an active, vibrant community of dedicated lawyers serving as an advocate for the profession in leadership and service to the greater Sacramento community.
