Frequently Asked Questions
What is connect.law?
connect.law is the new official platform designed exclusively for members of The National Black Lawyers. It brings all your NBL benefits together, including CLEs, events, recognition, and peer networking, into one dynamic, easy-to-use platform. With connect.law, you can manage your membership, stay up to date on important news, and engage with the nation’s top African American lawyers from anywhere.
Is there an additional cost to use connect.law?
No extra cost is required. Each NBL member receives an “Executive” Membership to connect.law for as long as their NBL membership remains active. This ensures uninterrupted access to all your exclusive member benefits, features, and upcoming enhancements at no additional charge.
Where can I get support if I need help?
We’re here to help every step of the way. If you have any questions or need assistance, support is available directly through the chat tool inside connect.law. Our team is ready to help you with registration, troubleshooting, or making the most of your membership features.
Do I still need the old site?
Both the legacy portal and connect.law are available to members during this transition period. However, please note that the legacy portal will become inactive by the end of the year.
