Membership in the Vermont Bar Association is voluntary, so the bar thus strives to provide its attorney and other legal professionals with valuable services such as continuing legal education and practice management. Founded in 1878, the Vermont Bar Association's mission is to support the rule of law as the cornerstone of a democratic society, advocate equal access to justice, promote respect, honesty, competence, and diligence amongst the legal profession and encourage the special role of the lawyer as a public servant. Additionally, the Vermont Bar Association champions informed and wise reformation of the law.
