Smith County Bar Foundation

Furthering justice and promoting the rule of law by providing resources and education to the community.

The Smith County Bar Foundation is the charitable arm of the Smith County legal profession. Partners of the SCBF support a variety of community outreach projects, including:

People's Law School - a free event, open to the public, that provides information on a variety of legal topics and issues in English and Spanish;

Scholarships for high school or returning to school students, pursuing degrees in law enforcement or legal studies;

Mock Trial competition for high schools in the Region 7 education district;

Constitution Day programs that educate on and bring awareness to the incredible document that is the US Constitution;
