Since 1983, the Dartmouth Lawyers Association has provided a unique forum to develop and maintain contacts with the diverse group of individuals who share the dual bond of Dartmouth and the law.

The Association publishes an annual Directory of Members, listing individual biographical information, including primary practice areas. The Directory's geographic, alphabetic, and class indices are excellent sources for business referrals and locating old friends.

The Association fosters meaningful dialogue on important legal, social and economic issues affecting the global community. The Association sponsors educational programs that feature prominent business, government and legal commentators, as well as distinguished professors.

The Association is a non-profit, non-partisan organization. Members and invited guests meet annually in Hanover to review developments affecting members, to elect officers to lead the Association and to set long-term goals. Meetings also are held periodically at other locations throughout the country.
