Rule of Law:

The Pima County Bar Association’s mission statement includes providing access to and awareness of the law to all people of Pima County, and stated goals include increasing the public’s understanding of the law and the legal profession. The Pima County Bar Association stands unwavering in its commitment to the rule of law. We believe that the rule of law ensures fairness, accountability, and justice by upholding the principles of an impartial and independent judiciary, as well as a separation of powers among the co-equal branches of government. This commitment is foundational to our nation’s democracy, dating back to Magna Carta and our Constitution, and it protects against the concentration of power in any one individual or group. We recognize that the integrity of our legal system depends on maintaining democratic checks and balances. As we continue to provide service and leadership to the public and the legal profession, we reaffirm our support for a legal process that is fair, equitable, and accessible to all Arizonans, ensuring that everyone is subject to and accountable under the law.
