History of the MCBA

by Robert Hribar

For most of its history the Macomb County Bar Association functioned as a social organization with little structure, no employees and absent offices. Led by attorney Dwight Lowell of Romeo the MCBA was founded in 1906 with 40 members. Records show that the members met socially to discuss the legal issues of the day. Generally the President would keep the records of the Association at his office and little, if anything was passed from one group of directors to the next.
