How to apply?

To join, simply submit the form below. Once your application is reviewed and validated by the Association, you’ll receive an invitation to complete your member directory profile and, if applicable, submit your membership dues based on your category. For details, visit the Membership Dues & Categories section.

How much are membership dues?

Membership in the Bukharian Law Association is open to attorneys, law students, and paralegals, with dues tailored to each stage of your legal journey.

Attorneys pay annual dues based on their years since bar admission:


  • 0–3 years: $75/year
  • 4–9 years: $150/year
  • 10+ years: $250/year

    Law Students join for FREE until bar admission. Proof of enrollment—such as a letter from your law school, redacted transcript, or class schedule—is required.

    Paralegals may join for $100/year with a letter from their employer verifying their position.


    Once your membership application is submitted and validated by our team, you’ll receive an email invitation to complete your member profile for the legal directory. If dues apply, an invoice will be included in that communication.

    Please note: Your directory listing will only become visible—and access to BLA programs, CLEs, and events will only be granted—once payment is received and processed.

    For questions about dues or eligibility, please refer to our Frequently Asked Questions section or email us at membership@bukhla.com.
