Weekly Bar Briefs - July 8, 2025

|
Dear Buncombe Bar Members,
|
Our 2025-2026 fiscal year began July 1st, which means it is a new billing cycle for your member dues. Please be on the lookout for an email notice of annual dues within the next week. Mandatory judicial district dues set by the NC Bar are $90, and with this reduction, we request and greatly appreciate you adding a donation. Thank you for getting these dues taken care of quickly and no later than the due date of Sep. 15.
|
|
We’ve been busy improving our website this year, and with annual billing approaching, we can share important information for setting up a Group Administrator Account for your firm. This will streamline billing, event registration, and firm-wide member communications. There can only be one group administrator account per firm, so please share this information with your firm administrator if you would like to get an account setup and have them email admin@buncombebar.com for further instructions.
