140 Years of Service
The Bar Association of the City of Richmond, the oldest bar organization in Virginia, continues to expand a great tradition of service to the bench, the bar, and the public in its third century. The Association’s objectives have remained constant since stated by the founders in 1885: to aid in maintaining the honor and dignity of the profession of law, to promote legal science and the administration of justice, and to cultivate social interaction among its members.
