If you're adding a new Section to your enrollment, your existing enrollments will already be selected in the form. For convenience, a Section will be pre-selected for a member who is sitting on the executive of a Section.

Enrollment for 2017/2018 is currently open. There is no official deadline to enroll, however we do recommend members do so before mid-September as many Sections will begin hosting their first meetings of the year in early fall.  We will continue to accept Section enrollments throughout the year. If a lawyer ceases to be a CBA member, Section enrollment will be terminated. 

You can visit the online enrollment form again to add or remove Sections.
