Though the Delaware State Bar Association is a voluntary, non-unified organization, 90 percent of private lawyers in Delaware are members. The DBA was founded in 1923 and sought to advance the science of jurisprudence, secure proper law reform, preserve proper standards for Bar members, maintain the honor and dignity of the legal profession, uphold legal ethics and professional responsibility, cultivate fraternal relationships among lawyers and judiciaries, and perpetuate legal history. The Executive Committee for the association consists of 26 members, with vice presidents representing one of each county.
