Welcome to the Lafayette Bar Association & Foundation!Motivated by Justice, Inspired by Service.Welcome to the new website of the Lafayette Bar Association and Foundation. To better serve our members, we recently made the switch to new association management software. We have done our best to keep a familiar look and feel, but you may find that some things look a little different. Please be patient with us as we continue to make our new website as organized and efficient as possible. This website will help with the work of keeping our membership connected. With social networking support, simple tools for staying in touch, space for sharing documents and photos and resources to support committees, we can use it to help market our association and highlight the great work being done.
