The 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.
