Listen to EGAD VA Public Meetings

Pursuant to Pt. I, Article V, Sec. 3. of the Virginia State Bar Bylaws, president Chidi James established the VSB Entry, Growth, and Distribution of Virginia Attorneys Study Committee (EGAD VA) in early 2024 to examine the declining number of lawyers practicing in Virginia. During its 15-month tenure, the Committee is charged with increasing the legal profession’s awareness of this issue and making specific recommendations to address the declining population and mitigate impacts of the same. The Committee plans to release its report in the spring of 2025.

The Committee invites lawyers and members of the public to listen to the audio recordings of the public hearings below.

Upcoming Committee meetings may be found on the Calendar and are subject to the Virginia Freedom of Information Act. Agendas and call in numbers will be provided on the Committee meeting entry on the Calendar.
