Welcome to Rhode Island Bar Association online. Our Web site is intended as a resource for members of the Association as well as the general public. Our President's Message can be accessed by clicking here. If you are a lawyer, you will find the latest in services and programs that the bar has to offer, whether it's a CLE program, membership discount program or an opportunity to join a Rhode Island Bar Committee.

The consumer information allows the public to find answers to many common legal questions including many topics from family law issues such as adoption and divorce to wills and probate, drunk driving and buying a home. In addition, there is information on how to choose a lawyer, and how to handle problems or questions that may come up in the course of your representation.
  • The Members Only area offers a new variety of services to our members. We invite you to visit CASEMAKER, our online law library / research tool and our online forums.
