The Hampshire County Bar Association is a service organization composed of attorneys and dedicated to improving the quality of the practice of law in this county, by providing support to the community, the bench, and the bar on issues that are relevant to the local community. We are one of the most respected small bar associations in Massachusetts. We are proud to be a responsive, innovative and active association, whose members take leadership roles in issues facing the legal community.
