Welcome to the Dane County Bar Association

Josh Kindkeppel - DCBA President

The Dane County Bar Association (“DCBA”) was established in 1858, and since its earliest days has prided itself in diligently supporting its members and making Dane County a better place to practice law and to live. 

Dane County is uniquely situated in that it houses Wisconsin’s Capitol, Supreme Court, District IV Court of Appeals, Dane County Circuit Court, U.S. District Court for the Western District of Wisconsin, the legislature, the governor’s office, the Wisconsin Department of Justice, the State Law Library, and countless other government agencies.  It is also home to several world-class educational institutions, including the University of Wisconsin Law School.  Dane County is the second largest county in Wisconsin, and it is widely known for its farmer’s market, beautiful lakes, museums, theatres and music venues, excellent restaurants, and its overall good ambiance.
