PEORIA COUNTY BAR ASSOCIATION
Home - Peoria County Bar Association
The statement of purpose set forth in this constitution of 1879 was: “The Association is formed to promote reform in the law, to facilitate the administration of justice, to elevate the standard of integrity, honor, and courtesy in the legal profession, to encourage a thorough legal education and to cherish a spirit of brotherhood among the members thereof.” The original minute book containing the handwritten constitution of the Peoria Bar Association with the written signatures of the subscribers is now in possession of the Peoria County Bar Association at its offices at 110 SW Jefferson Avenue, Suite 520, Peoria, Illinois, and pictures of the five courthouses are on display.
