About the DC Caribbean Bar Association

In the heart of the nation’s capital, where Caribbean culture continues to shape the rhythm and richness of the city, the DC Caribbean Bar Association was founded to unite legal professionals who share a common heritage and a commitment to justice. Caribbean lawyers and legal professionals have long played a vital role in the legal and civic life of Washington, DC. This Association honors that legacy and carries it forward—creating space for connection, advocacy, and professional excellence.

We bring together attorneys, law students, and legal professionals of Caribbean heritage and interest to foster growth, celebrate identity, and promote justice both locally and throughout the diaspora.

What We Stand For

• Building Community — Creating a vibrant network where Caribbean legal professionals connect, mentor, and thrive.

• Inspiring Leadership — Empowering members through education, mentorship, and opportunities to lead.

• Advancing Justice — Championing equity, civil rights, and the rule of law in both U.S. and Caribbean contexts.

• Giving Back — Engaging in meaningful service and outreach to support and uplift the communities we serve.

We welcome all who share in this vision. Whether you're at the start of your legal journey or a seasoned practitioner, this is your space to be seen, supported, and celebrated. Together, we’re building something meaningful—rooted in culture, driven by purpose, and ready to shape the future.
