Each robe has a story

CBABC Robe Bank receives robes from the people who have them and loans to the people who need them.

Close up photos of three separate court robes.

Court robes are expensive, and many new lawyers need them to participate in their call ceremony or appear in court.

Our solution? CBABC Robe Bank receives robes from the people who have them and loans to the people who need them.

Robe Bank is proudly sponsored by Lawyers Financial.

Borrow a robe

Whether you need garments for your call ceremony, or for your first year as a new litigator, CBABC members can borrow robes without stress or financial burden.

When you are done, return the dry-cleaned garments to CBABC so someone else can use them.

Add to the robe's story — let the original owner and subsequent borrowers follow the adventures of the robe.
