The Missouri Bar Center The Missouri Bar Center continues to meet the ever-expanding needs of the bar membership and staff, furthering its well-deserved reputation as an attractive and functional headquarters for the state bar. Located in downtown Jefferson City, the three-story main building – completed in 1965 via the donations of bar members across the state – houses the bar’s media relations, legislative, continuing legal education, meeting planning, citizenship education, and MCLE functions, including professional and support staffing. Adjacent to the main building is an annex – purchased in 1986 – that includes the membership records department, administrative department, lawyers’ assistance program, membership services department, communications department, and information systems department. Immediately behind this annex are The Missouri Bar’s in-house printing facilitates, including printing presses, collating equipment and labeling machinery. The Missouri Bar remains one of the very few state bars in the nation utilizing its own printing operation. Every Missouri Bar publication – from the Journal of The Missouri Bar to the popular MoBarCLE deskbooks – is printed, collated, bound and mailed from this inhouse facility. The printing of all Missouri Bar publications, combined with the organization’s ability to order and store large quantities of paper, have allowed the state bar to save hundreds of thousands of dollars each year by avoiding expensive commercial printing costs. Together, the three buildings that make up The Missouri Bar Center complex are home to 49 full-time employees, with additional assistance from part-time help as needed. Minimal increases in staffing, along with the wise allocation of space throughout the three structures, have allowed the organization to serve a rapidly growing membership with ongoing and new services. Conveniently located at the corner of Monroe and McCarty streets in Jefferson City, the bar’s headquarters is within easy walking distance of such landmarks as the State Capitol, the Supreme Court of Missouri, and other state government buildings. The Missouri Bar Center also contains conference rooms and meeting facilities that are available to groups or individuals for meetings, depositions or other business functions. In fact, its central location and available meeting space make The Missouri Bar Center a logical and convenient gathering site for Missouri Bar members with business in the capital city. In 2013, the Bar Center’s versatility will be enhanced with construction of an additional floor on the original Missouri Bar building. When completed mid-year, it will offer additional space for conferences, CLE seminars, meetings, and other events. Missouri Bar members are always welcome to tour the complex or make use of its facilities when they find themselves in Jefferson City.
