Our Association and Foundation work hand-in-hand to raise funds and award scholarships to law students, among other charitable endeavors.

The St. Louis legal community is filled with African Americans who have made tremendous contributions to the legal profession and individuals who have historically been avid supporters of African American attorneys. Many of the current pioneers/trailblazers have contributions that have gone unrecognized. As a result, Mound City Bar Association established the Legal Legend award to thank and pay homage to individuals who have made outstanding contributions to the St. Louis legal profession and/or have been historical supporters of African American attorneys.
