Welcome to The NCBA's Governmental Affairs
Homepage
The Office of Governmental Affairs (OGA) serves the membership
of the Association at every turn of the legislative process.
The OGA team performs as an experienced and effective advocate for
attorneys throughout North Carolina on a variety of
issues.
The members of the North Carolina Bar Association benefit from
the substantial political relationships the OGA has established
with members of the General Assembly, State Executive Branch,
Congress, and key staff members at the state and national
level. Legislators and their staff rely on our substantive
legal expertise to draft, interpret and enact legislation that is
critical to the practice of law. If you would like to
volunteer to become part of our team, please contact
the OGA. In the meantime, use the links below to
