Virginia Bar Association
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Virginia Bar Association (VBA) is a voluntary organization of lawyers in Virginia, with offices in Richmond, Virginia.
The Virginia Bar Association is a voluntary organization of Virginia lawyers committed to serving the public and the legal profession by promoting the highest standards of integrity, professionalism and excellence in the legal profession; working to improve the law and the administration of justice; and advancing collegial relations among lawyers.
The VBA, (originally named the Virginia State Bar Association (VSBA)), was founded in July 1888 in Virginia Beach. In 1938, after the Virginia State Bar was created as a state-controlled regulatory association, the name of the older organization was changed to the current Virginia Bar Association.
