Public Volunteers

Public Members Welcome: Volunteer with WSBA

The Washington State Bar Association seeks members of the public to serve on six boards for terms begin Oct. 1, 2022 (term start dates may vary). Volunteering provides an excellent opportunity to get an insider’s view on how the practice of law is regulated in Washington State. Applicants from outside the legal community are especially welcome; former or nonpracticing attorneys are asked not to apply. Most appointments are for three-year terms.
