6th Anniversary of SBCBA.org website 

At the stroke of midnight, December 31, 1999 we launched SBCBA.org. Remember Y2K? At the moment our online clock registered year 2000, the Naval Observatory clock went from 1999 to 199-100.

We have delivered hundreds of thousands of pages to nearly every nation on Earth.

Most importantly, SBCBA.org is your online bar community. We provide the legal community with up to date legal research links for all jurisdictions, access to the world's news authorities, email services for members, and much more.

As we approach 1000 members, we anticipate even higher demands on our staff and resources. Your participation in California's Oldest Continuously Operating Bar Association is appreciated and we hope to improve services of use to you and your colleagues throughout the New Year.
