Past EventsOn October 13, 2011, a regional committee was impaneled on behalf of the VWAA to evaluate candidates for the upcoming vacancy on the Arlington Circuit Court occasioned by the retirement of the Honorable James F. Almand. The VWAA convened a panel & interviewed candidates for the ACC opening, providing its recommendations to the Governor and Chairs of the Committee as well as all of the Courts of Justice Committee Members. On February 5, 2011, the NVWAA lead the 2011 Color of Justice Program, which was held at the courthouse for Arlington County. This program is a coordinated effort by the several bar associations, including the NVWAA, the Asian Pacific American Bar Association, the Hispanic Bar Association, the Northern VA Black Attorneys Association, the Fairfax County Public Schools College Partnership program and the Fairfax, Arlington and Alexandria Bar Associations’ Young Lawyers Section. The goal is to encourage academically advanced minority students to consider careers as attorneys. These students will often be the first in their families to graduate from high school or attend college. This is the 8th year of this cooperative effort and the program, among other accomplishments, maintains a communications and spirit of cooperation between the various bar organizations.
