History
The Hawaii State Bar Association was founded as a voluntary membership organization in 1899. In 1985 it was formally incorporated as a 501(c)(6) non-profit trade organization.
In 1952, the Hawaii Bar News began publication; it is now known as Hawaii Bar Journal.
In 1989, the Supreme Court of the State of Hawaii created a unified bar, pursuant to Supreme Court Rule 17. As a result, all persons admitted to the practice of law in Hawaii must be members of HSBA.
