Loren Miller Bar Association-Home Page
Description
LMBA is the Washington affiliate of the National Bar Association ("NBA"), which is the oldest minority bar and the largest organization of African-American attorneys in the United States. Formed in 1925, the NBA was created when the American Bar Association ("ABA") was racially segregated and did not allow African-Americans to join. Although the ABA changed its policy several decades later, the NBA and its affiliates continue to address social, economic and legal issues that are unique to the African-American community.
The Loren Miller Bar Association's ("LMBA") history reflects the birth, growth and maturation of the African-American legal community within the State of Washington. Beginning as the Loren Miller Bar Club, the organization was founded in Seattle, Washington on August 14, 1968, by Philip L. Burton, Gary D. Gayton, Archie M. Greenlee , the Honorable Donald D. Haley, Lembhard G. Howell, the Honorable Charles V. Johnson, William 0. Lockett, Carl Maxey, James E. McIver, the Honorable Charles M. Stokes, Edwin S. Stone , the Honorable Jack E. Tanner, and Andrew Young. LMBA was named after Loren Miller, the famed Los Angeles civil rights attorney who successfully argued Shelley v. Kraemer, 334 U.S. 1 (1948), which struck down race based restrictive covenants in housing.
On October 14, 1978 the members officially changed the name to LMBA and, in 1997, created the Philip L. Burton Memorial Foundation as a nonprofit corporation to administer LMBA's scholarship fund for the University of Washington, Seattle University and Gonzaga University law students. The organization has grown from its 13 founders to a current membership of over 250 attorneys statewide.
