Morris County Bar Association
Description
The Charter members of what would become the Morris County Bar Association met at the Morris County Courthouse on January 10, 1900 to elect a chairman and to pass a motion to draft a constitution and by-laws of the proposed organization. The first annual meeting was held on May 1, 1900 (coincidentally, now observed nationwide as “Law Day”).
The Morris County Bar Association is a professional association of attorneys and members of the judiciary who live in and/or practice law in Morris County. The objectives of the Association are as follows: to maintain the honor and dignity of the profession of law; to promote an understanding of the law and its application in society; to foster the due administration of justice; and to promote the capacity of the Bar for public service, particularly the provision of pro bono legal services in appropriate cases.
The Morris County Bar Association is governed by a Board of Trustees elected by the Association’s membership and maintains a staff comprised of an Executive Director, Lawyer Referral Service Administrator, and a secretary.
