The WSBA is an administrative arm of the Washington State Supreme Court.
Membership is mandatory for people who wish to practice law here.
For example, anything that looks like an endorsement, partnership or association must be avoided, unless it has been approved by the WSBA Board of Governors . We have a responsibility to serve the public, and not to misinform or to mislead it. Materials that do not reflect WSBA positions, such as newsletter articles, should be labeled as such. The purpose of these indicia is to help site visitors, and those who view pages printed from the website, to tell which pages come from the WSBA and how they can obtain more information. Our target audience is accessing the website via a broad spectrum of technical resources.
