The Stark County Bar Association was founded in 1900 and has proudly served the Stark County community for more than 100 years. The purpose of the Stark County Bar Association is to work for the general good of the community, to improve the administration of the law in the interests of the public, to promote good relations among the members of the bar, and to further the professional interests of our members.
Our staff is here to serve the members of the association and look forward to working with you. Please feel free to contact the bar office if you ever have any questions. This is what we are here for.

2020 Law Day
Unfortunately, in light of the State of Ohio extending remote learning to May 1, 2020 and continued social distancing on state and federal levels, we felt it necessary to cancel all of our Law Day events for the year. Some students had already submitted posters and essays before we had to make our decision so the committee decided to continue the contests and awarded each student with a monetary award along with a Certificate of Participation.
The Law Day Committee then donated 130 restaurant gift cards to employees of all Stark County hospitals with funds originally marked for the Law Day events. We will post the raffle winners.
In the midst of a pandemic, stay-at-home orders, significant impacts upon healthcare, business and individuals, the Stark County Bar Association is proud of members who are stepping up to care for the community. Local law firms, attorneys and judges are teaming up in a big way to help support local restaurants and the area’s homeless population by providing meals through the end of May.
