The Vermont Bar Association (VBA) is taking a stand for the rule of law and the values that uphold our democratic society. In a recent statement adopted by the Board of Managers, the VBA reaffirms its commitment to promoting the highest standards of skill, ethics, and professionalism within the legal profession. This mission includes fostering understanding and respect for the rule of law, supporting equal access to justice, and providing valuable resources to its members.
Supporting the Rule of Law
The VBA’s dedication to upholding the rule of law is evident in its unwavering support for an impartial and independent judiciary, as well as the separation of powers among the branches of government. These principles are the foundation of our nation and are essential for maintaining a fair and effective system of justice.
The VBA condemns any actions that undermine our democratic checks and balances or attack the judiciary. The organization emphasizes the importance of respect for the rule of law in ensuring the functioning of our society, upholding justice, and protecting individual rights and liberties. In the eyes of the VBA, everyone is subject to the law and must be held accountable.
Ensuring Access to Justice
One of the key priorities for the VBA is to ensure that all Vermonters have access to the judicial process in a fair and equitable manner. By providing resources and support to its members, the VBA plays a crucial role in upholding the principles of justice and equality under the law. The organization remains committed to serving its membership and creating an inclusive environment that welcomes diverse perspectives.
Looking Ahead
As the VBA continues its efforts to support the rule of law and promote a non-partisan approach to governance, the organization remains dedicated to its mission and the values that underpin our system of government. By staying true to its principles and serving as a beacon of integrity within the legal profession, the VBA sets an example for others to follow in upholding the rule of law and ensuring justice for all.
