"Fill the Closet" Clothing Drive
for Indigent Defendants
The Akron Bar, in partnership with Goodwill, is addressing the needs of indigent clients who are without appropriate clothing for court appearances. Defense counsel will have the opportunity to shop at any Goodwill location and select clothing from the general inventory.
We need YOU to help get this off the ground! As you clean out your personal closet, please consider donating those items to our "Fill the Closet" Drive. Donations should consist of court-appropriate clothing for men and women, dress shoes, dress socks, belts, and ties. You are encouraged to donate only those items that are in a condition that you would be comfortable handing down to family or friends.
The Akron Bar Association and Goodwill are drop-off locations for this drive. Details for defense counsel on how to shop at Goodwill are forthcoming.

Log on for Online Directory
Perhaps you've noticed that the online member directory is no longer readily at hand. The company that maintains the back end of our database made the directory open to the public. Since having it open is detrimental to our Lawyer Referral Service and participating attorneys, we have put it behind a firewall so that only Akron Bar members can access it. You will need to first log in to your Akron Bar account to open the online directory. Should you have problems with opening your account, please contact Member Services at 330.436.0105 or
[email protected].
