On February 4, 1897, a group of Jacksonville attorneys came together and formed the Jacksonville Bar Association with a vision: to strengthen the legal profession, uphold its highest ideals and build a community rooted in professionalism, ethics, service and collegiality.Almost exactly 130 years later, on Jan. 28, 2027, we will come together once again - this time at the Jacksonville History Center - to celebrate the JBA's milestone 130th birthday!
For 130 years, the Jax Bar Association has been a constant in a city that has changed dramatically around it. Generations of attorneys and judges have passed through our ranks. Our legal community has grown and evolved. But the principles at the heart of the JBA have endured.
The JBA has long been more than a professional organization. It is where Jacksonville's legal community connects. Where relationships between the bench and bar are strengthened. Where young lawyers find mentors and colleagues become friends. Where generations of leaders have worked together to serve our profession, our justice system and our community.
And on Thursday, February 4, 2027, we're going to celebrate that remarkable legacy.
We're planning a special 130th Anniversary celebration that will look back at where we've been, recognize many of the people who helped bring us here and look ahead to the future of Jacksonville's legal community.
Expect some history.
Some familiar faces.
A special guest (or two).
A few surprises.
And an opportunity to experience pieces of the JBA's story that span more than a century.
Most importantly, it will be a celebration of you - our members, our leaders past and present and the generations of Jacksonville lawyers who have made the JBA what it is today.
The official JBA calendar already marks February 4 for our 130th Anniversary Member Luncheon.
But there's much more to come!
For now, SAVE THE DATE: FEBRUARY 4, 2027.
130 years of history.
130 years of service.
130 years of Jacksonville's legal community.
It's a milestone worth celebrating - and today? The countdown to #JBATurns130 begins! ⚖️
