URGENT MESSAGE FROM THE FLORIDA BAR TO MEMBERS OF THE FAMILY LAW SECTION

On May 1, the current Florida Bar member portal and your password will no longer be active. You must sign in as soon as possible to set your password for the new MyFloridaBar members portal. Instructions are included are below.
If you have any questions, please call 866-854-5050 or email Membership Records for assistance.
The Florida Bar is upgrading and improving the MyFloridaBar Members Portal, the website login area where you pay annual fees, report CLEs and conduct other activities.
 
The new MyFloridaBar Members Portal will help members more easily conduct e-commerce activities with the Bar, with expanded options for purchasing CLEs, registering for events and paying fees once the portal is fully launched May 1. (The old portal and login cannot be used after that date.)
 
The April 1 issue of The Florida Bar News features the improvements and provides more information on the updates. Until May 1, members should report and buy CLEs using the current site and login.
 
The Florida Bar already has set up your account in the new portal with your email as your new username.  However, you must set your new password before May 1 so you will not experience any interruption in access to your MyFloridaBar Portal.
 
To set your password, go to the new MyFlorida Bar Members Portal, and you will see the screen below. Click on the "Forgot Password?" link.
After you have clicked on the "Forgot Password?" link, the screen below will appear. Enter your username, which is your email address, and then click "Reset Password."
When you click "Reset Password," the system will send you an email with a link to reset your password that looks like this:
Click the link provided in the email and enter your new password. Keep in mind that the password must be at least 8 letters long and include letters and numbers. Also, check your spam or clutter folders if the email does not appear in your email inbox.
 
Please note that your internet browser needs to be updated to the latest version so that you can access the new system.
 
We urge you to set up your account in the new portal  as soon as possible  so that you will be able to register for the upcoming Annual Convention and pay your annual fees online in the new system.
 
The new portal will be fully functional as of May 1, and until then you can post your CLEs on the current site.  You need to have your new password in place before May 1 to easily access the new system.
 
If you have any questions, please call  866-854-5050  for assistance or email Membership Records for assistance.
