The John Mercer Langston Bar Association is Columbus, Ohio's affiliate member of the National Bar Association (Download Certificate-PDF) whose purpose is to be a facilitator for excellence within the legal profession while also encouraging community service for those in need. The JMLBA achieves these goals by providing valuable information, networking opportunities, mentoring opportunities, and CLE programs.

We are excited to continue the JMLBA Speakers' Series this year. This exciting and innovative program is in its second year and promises to continue to provide members with the occasion to learn from prominent African-American leaders in the City of Columbus on a wide variety of topics in a small setting. The program will also provide intimate networking opportunities for those in attendance. Please visit our Calendar page for specific details.
