The Peoria County Bar Association was founded in 1879 and is the largest regional bar association in downstate Illinois. Michael R. Lied became the 101st President of the Association in July, 2008.  During his term, the focus is on providing assistance and support to our service members and their families in recognition of the burdens they carry for our greater good. Each month, we will highlight the efforts of our members to support and assist service members.

PCBA is committed to diversity and equal opportunity.  Our active Diversity Committee has worked with firms and members to secure this committment and agreement to the Equal Opportunity Pledge:

We, the lawyers of the Peoria County Bar Association, believe:

- that our mission is to promote the highest standards of professional conduct, to promote justice and facilitate the delivery of legal services to all members of the community, to encourage cooperation with the judiciary, to provide continuing legal education, and to
preserve civility and camaraderie within our profession;

- in fostering diversity in its membership in order to reflect the community served by its members with respect to race, color, religion, gender, national origin, ancestry, sexual orientation, disability and age;

- in providing pro bono legal services to the indigent, and that each active member of our Association has a responsibility to represent indigent persons or to otherwise support the provision of legal services to the indigent.

The Pledge and organizations that have signed.

PCBA's  Fitness, Health and Wellness Committee sponsored a successful 5k Run or Walk on Saturday, May 16th, along beautiful Grandview Drive in Peoria Heights. Directed by Tracy Litzinger, the event was supported by the talents of the entire committee and several volunteers.
