The S.L. Hutchins Bar Association is an association of attorneys, and other legal professionals, founded for the purpose of addressing the issues, interests, and concerns of African-American and other minority attorneys in the Greater Chattanooga Area.

​

Through meetings, interchange of ideas, information sharing and the like, the S.L. Hutchins Bas Association seeks to provide a vehicle for mutual support within the African-American and minority attorney community in Chattanooga, a forum for the exchange of mutually beneficial information regarding career development and enhancement, career opportunities, professional education, and a mechanism for smoothing the transition of African-American attorneys from the law school environment into the local bar and the transition of newly arrived African-American attorneys into the Greater Chattanooga community.
