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) to examine the declining number of lawyers practicing in Virginia, particularly in certain geographic areas identified as “lagging circuits.” 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. This committee was previously known as the Lawyer Population Study Committee.
The Committee invites lawyers and members of the public to view the recording of the August 28th public hearing on our EGAD-VSB YouTube channel. Future public hearings will also be available on this page.
