The Dutchess County Bar Association is dedicated to making a difference in the communities it serves. Below are examples of activities designed to help us achieve this goal.



Law Day Free Legal Clinic
Law Day is an annual observance of the law. Law Day provides an oppurtunity to reflect on the role of the law in our past, present and future.

In honor of Law Day, a free legal clinic is held each year. The Dutchess County Bar Association has hosted this event annually for more than ten years, serving between 100-200 participants per year. The DCBA was joined this year for the first time by the Mid-Hudson Women's Bar Association. Concerns generally addressed include bankruptcy, divorce, child support, tenants rights and discrimination. Consultations generally last between 15-20 minutes, depending upon the issues being addressed. For more information about Law Day, contact the DCBA at (845) 473-2488.
