The luncheon meetings are typically held on Wednesdays, at The Durham Convention Center downtown, or Hope Valley Country Club, from 12:30 to 2:00 p.m. Non-members must pay $30.00 for each luncheon.

Your DCBA membership extends your “free” visits / services to your immediate family members. This represents a maximum benefit of $600 per family member. Dues for the DCBA are charged by the fiscal year, which begins July 1. All members receive a voluntary Bar dues invoice along with their mandatory invoice. For the 2012-2013 fiscal year, dues are $125. Attorneys who are first licensed by the NC State Bar in 2012 or 2013 may join for $60. We anticipate that 300 or more members of the Fourteenth will also choose to join the voluntary bar.
