Website Features

OBA President Pascale Daigneault will guide you through the process of how to market yourself with our new Find-a-Lawer application.

Section pages are customized with information as it relates to individual practice areas. Resources, submissions, programs, news, and articles are updated as information becomes available. Each section has its own forum and we encourage members to share and discuss using this tool.

Formally known as newsletters, we’ve developed a new format in which articles will be displayed and sent to section members. OBA editors will now have the opportunity to post articles on a more regular basis. We’ve increased functionality with features such as comment boards, social media integration, mobile device compatibility and searchable archives. Section members will be notified when a new article has become available.

The Find-a-Lawyer app allows visitors to the site to search for an OBA member based on their name, firm, location, area of practice and/or language spoken. A Google map with a listing of contact details allows users to get a sense of how close they are to the lawyers in their search. OBA members can opt-in to this complimentary service.

The Volunteer Portal is an exclusive service to the hundreds of OBA members who sit on committees, section executives, task forces, working groups and our governing bodies.  It provides volunteers with a central location for all committee information such as meeting dates, times, documents and other important details.  In addition, private forums allow you to have confidential discussions on matters that are important to your section.

The OBA’s Member-to-member Directory allows you to search our 18,000 members by name, firm, location and area of law. Only members of the OBA have access to this directory.

Our new site is a social hub; much of the content is driven by social media sources such as Flickr photo galleries, Vimeo videos, LinkedIn Groups, facebook and Twitter. We recognize that members are engaging with one another in these areas and we want to ensure our website is a resource for sharing and growing these discussions.

Our new site has been designed to work and display on just about any screen size, platform and orientation. So go ahead, visit oba.org on your desktop, laptop, phone, or tablet and experience the functionality, layout and ease of navigation.
