The Kansas Bar Association is committed to providing service to its members and the bar-at-large. We also remain mindful of the economic crisis that we all face.

As such, the KBA Board of Governors has approved a financial hardship policy which allows the Bar the discretion to waive annual membership dues and/or extend a full or partial waiver of CLE fees, depending on the circumstances.

Under this policy, any member, former member or non-member who has a genuine financial hardship may apply, in writing, explaining the basis of his/her hardship. Please specify if you are asking for an annual membership dues waiver and/or a CLE waiver.

Requests should be sent directly to the KBA Member Services Director, Lisa Montgomery, at lmontgomery@ksbar.org or mailed to her attention at 1200 SW Harrison St., Topeka, KS 66612.

Requests for specific CLE programs must be received at least 14 days before the seminar. No phone calls, please.

The Executive Director, in conjunction with the Executive Committee, shall review all requests and determine whether a waiver can be granted. Special attention will be given to job loss or a reduction in household income. Any decision rendered shall be final. Requests can be made as necessary.

Please note this policy only applies to membership dues and CLE tuition for the Kansas Bar Association.

You are responsible for paying all attorney registration fees and fulfilling any Mandatory CLE requirements in state(s) that you maintain a law license.
