About us
The Cleveland Metropolitan Bar Association (CMBA) is a nonprofit professional organization dedicated to serving the needs of legal professionals here in Greater Cleveland. A voluntary membership organization, its members includes attorneys and judges, law students, paralegals, and other business professionals. Together, it serves as the collective voice of our legal profession, both bench and bar. It was formed in March 2008 by the consolidation of the Cleveland Bar and Cuyahoga County Bar Associations, which brought together more than 135 years of rich history. Its vision is to be the model of metropolitan bar member and community service and leadership, indispensable to the practice of law in Greater Cleveland. Our Bar Foundation is the charitable fundraising arm of the CMBA and raises critical dollars for the association’s nationally recognized "Lawyers Giving Back" public outreach and pro bono legal service programs.

Last night the CMBA hosted The Legal Aid Society of Cleveland pro bono volunteers reception to help celebrate Pro Bono Week. This event honored over 200 people for their dedicated work and hours donated to pro bono causes. CMBA CEO Christopher Schmitt spoke briefly at the event: "In a perfect society, we wouldn’t need the safety nets that we provide. However, to paraphrase Emerson, “we live in the world as we find it, not as we would will it to be.” So we will be here, standing in the gap, making the load a bit lighter for our brothers and sisters today and bringing systematic change to our institutions over time so that no one goes without the rights they a promised in our founding documents. Below are a few pictures from the event!
