About the GBA

The Greensboro Bar Association was formed on March 15, 1929. Over its 80+ year history, many projects and committees have been developed, expanded and completed.

The Greensboro Bar Association seeks to represent The American legal system’s values of individual freedom, dignity, the right to due process, and equal protection under the law.

As Lawyers, we are guardians for our legal system, and we have an important professional responsibility to recognize, honor, and enhance the rule of law. We are in a privileged position, and therefore, we work under special obligations. To forget or set aside these obligations is to dishonor our profession.

The Greensboro Bar Association was established to encourage the assembly of its members at stated periods for the transaction of business conducive to the public good and their own welfare; to co-operate with the legislative, judicial and executive departments of government in securing, administrating and enforcing laws for the common weal; 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 intercourse among its members.
