What is the Minority Bar Coalition?

Founded in the late 1980s, the Minority Bar Coalition (MBC) of the San Francisco Bay Area is a network of diverse bar associations and law pathway programs dedicated to working in a unified manner to advance the cause of diversity in the legal profession. MBC does this by sharing best practices and resources in bar association programming and advocacy, finding issues of common cause, and building shared platforms.

We usually host about four events per year: a President's Reception (first quarter); a Spring Mixer (April); Summer Mixer (July); and our Unity Awards (November). If your bar association or law pathway program is interested in joining us, contact the MBC co-chairs at [email protected].
