The oldest integrated and mandatory bar association in the nation is the State Bar Association of North Dakota. Founded in 1899, the State Bar Association of North Dakota is committed to promoting justice while serving the needs of North Dakota lawyers and the public. The bar was originally established to ensure the integrity of legal services in the state and to provide education to the public about the criminal and civil justice systems. Today, the State Bar Association of North Dakota continues that tradition by providing programs such as continuing legal education, ethics opinions, lawyer assistance program, legal research technology, insurance programs, client protection funds, consumer protections against the unauthorized legal practice, and public legal educational information.
