Community Programs

The members of the FBA are committed to justice in society. That is why we are devoted to those in the community who may not have access to or who may not understand the different aspects of the court system.

 

Below are just some ways the FBA continues to serve the community.

 
Conciliation Program
The Conciliation Program is a service of the Fairfax Bar Association. The Program's Conciliators are experienced litigators, with expertise in both civil litigation and family law; they have volunteered their services to help resolve motions and other preliminary disputes without charge to the parties in the case. The Conciliation Program is entirely voluntary and aims to speed up the disposition of cases and reduce the cost of litigation by helping to resolve the types of procedural motions and interim matrimonial disputes which tend to burden the system and which frequently frustrate the judicial system's goal of providing a swift and fair determination of the parties' rights. Learn more and read the full details about the Conciliation Program.

 

LAW RELATED EDUCATION COMMITTEE (YOUTH) PROGRAMS (LREC)
The LREC's goal is to improve every student's understanding of the justice system and clarify the student's rights and responsibilities in society through its numerous programs. Currently, the planning and implementation of the program is done by volunteer attorneys. Each year, the Law Related Education Committee takes on new programs and responds to numerous requests from the community for lawyer interaction with school systems and community groups. Learn more and read the full details about the LREC.

 

Northern Virginia Pro Bono Law Center
The Northern Virginia Pro Bono Law Center was developed in response to the growing need to provide legal services to the underserved. The Fairfax Bar Association and Fairfax Law Foundation support a vibrant and expanding pro bono program which serves locations throughout the area. Volunteer lawyers, law students, and paralegals help to staff the diverse projects. Learn more and read the full details about the Northern Virginia Pro Bono Law Center.
