Welcome to your bar association office. We hope we'll see you often.
Facilities, Locations
Our offices are located at 1900 Grant Street in Denver. On the ninth floor we have one large meeting room, three small meeting rooms, and a Member's Office, where you can use the desk and phone when you're away from your own office. Our kitchen is off the middle hall, where the coffee is hot and the soft drinks are cold. The Docket is also on the ninth floor.
Continuing Legal Education in Colorado, Inc. is on the third floor. They have a large (100 capacity) classroom and a smaller (40 capacity) one.
On the eleventh floor is the DBA Placement Service, DBA Credit Union, COLTAF and the Legal Aid Foundation.
The Metro Volunteer Lawyers (formerly The Thursday Night Bar) offices are down the street, in the same building as Legal Aid (corner of 19th and Sherman) on the fourth floor.
Enjoy your visit
Feel free to walk down the halls, enjoy our historical pictures, have some coffee and talk to staff. Mi Casa, Su Casa.
