BAR BLAST 3-19-2013

The 2013 version of the State Bar membership directory is now available.  The directory is a digital .PDF file that can be saved to your computer.  As a service to our members, this version of the directory is only available through the member login.

The West Virginia State Bar has a new membership website coming soon!  As a new feature, which will save time for our members, one representative of your office can be designated to enter the entire firm’s mandatory Financial Responsibility Disclosure and IOLTA information.  In order to collect the necessary information, we are asking all Bar members to report their firm name.  If you work for a government entity, identify that entity as your “firm name.”  If you are a sole-practitioner, your name will be your “firm name.”   It is essential that we have this information before April 1, 2013. Click here to submit your firm name.
