Through a variety of free services, MOLAP helps individuals overcome personal concerns such as substance use, depression, stress, and burnout. All MOLAP services are free and strictly confidential.

Digital networking has never been more needed – or more simple. On connect.MOBAR, lawyers from across the state can collaborate and exchange knowledge through online communities. The platform is a place to ask questions and gather information. You can also communicate with members of any Missouri Bar committees and download files from an extensive forms bank.

Committees and Sections + meetings
Committees and sections represent the driving forces behind the work and activities of The Missouri Bar, and with more than 40 to choose from, all lawyers can find one that fits their professional interests. Committee members are lawyers who practice in or are passionate about a particular area of law, from Animal Law to Workers Compensation. Explore various committees here. In addition, committees gather, virtually or in person, at least twice a year for Fall Committee Meetings and Spring Committee Meetings. These sessions typically include free CLE programming and opportunities to network.

Research and writing tools
Research and writing play a major part in being a lawyer, so we’re here to help you along the way. Did you know all Missouri lawyers have free access to Fastcase legal research through The Missouri Bar? In addition, MoBar Net, developed through a partnership with REJIS, offers lawyers online access to Missouri DOR records, municipal courts, and warrant and arrest information in the St. Louis and Kansas City areas. Other available services include statewide criminal history, out-of-state driver records locator, and death file searches. Explore these benefits here.

Jobs bank
Whether you’re looking for different opportunities, hiring for a specialized role, or trying to land a place to hang out your shingle, The Missouri Bar’s Jobs for Lawyers service can help you find the right fit. Updated weekly, the service is provided at no cost to any firm, employer, or organization where a J.D. is required or preferred for applicants.

LawyerSearch
LawyerSearch is designed to link lawyers who are accepting new clients with clients in need of services. To be included in the search, lawyers must complete a profile sharing their area of practice, office location, and any language proficiencies. Once a lawyer is in the system, members of the public can find them by searching for potential matches by city, language needs, and area of legal concern. Opt in to use LawyerSearch here.
