Continuing Legal Education
The Lackawanna Bar Association currently charges non-members $60.00 per hour for continuing education and members $25.00 per hour. In addition, the LBA offers a minimum of 12 free credits to members each year. This means payment of your annual dues can be completely offset by the cost of obtaining your continuing legal education credits.
