Old Dominion Bar Association

Founded in Richmond, Virginia in 1942, the Old Dominion Bar Association emerged from a pivotal moment of civil rights advocacy when attorney Frederic Charles Carter refused to be segregated in the Virginia Supreme Court law library. What began as a response to discrimination has evolved into one of the nation's premier African-American bar associations, dedicated to the mission of being "Virginia's Advocates for Equal Justice." For over 80 years, ODBA has served as a vital community for African-American attorneys and lawyers of color, providing continuity of leadership and support on issues of particular importance to underrepresented populations in the legal profession. The organization's legacy includes significant achievements in judicial appointments, with ODBA members working diligently to ensure African-American lawyers received consideration for judgeships throughout Virginia.
