Eligibility Requirements for BALRA Membership

BALRA is continually accepting new members. Membership is open to any legal employer or law school that is actively involved in recruiting or career development of attorneys and law clerks.

The organization has two types of representation from each member organization: general and associate.

1. General Representative. To qualify as a general representative, a law firm recruiting administrator or a law school career development professional must be affiliated with a member organization and have paid dues. Recruiting administrators and law school representatives shall be defined as individuals whose primary job responsibilities involve recruiting or placement of attorneys or law clerks. Each law firm office or law school shall have one general member.
2. Associate Representative. All additional individuals from a member organization for whom dues have been paid shall be designated associate representatives.

Interested law firms and law schools will be admitted upon completion of the general representative's application and payment of dues. To apply for membership, please contact BALRA Secretary, Jessica Sisco, at jsisco@reedsmith.com.

Membership dues are as follows:

General Membership (first member): Employer Representative $150.00; Law School Representative $ 75.00

Associate Membership (additional members): Employer Representative $ 100.00; Law School Representative $ 50.00

Membership shall cease upon non-payment of dues, resignation or action of the Executive Board (e.g., the determination by the Executive Board that a member is engaged in conduct prejudicial to the interests of the organization).

Should any general or associate representative resign before the end of a term, the member organization may transfer his or her BALRA affiliation to another individual within the member organization.
