The Bar Association of Redmont (BAR), formerly known as the Redmont Bar Association (RBA), is a government entity separate from any branch. They operate to manage the legal profession, ensure legal compliance, and disbar members.
History
In 2022, the Redmont Bar Association was formed by the “INSERT ACT”. The Redmont Bar Association was established as a legal government entity responsible for overseeing the legal profession and everything related to it.
The original Council consisted of, Magills0819, TpersonH, LilNickiVert, and with Drew_Hall being the Chair.
However in 2025 the Redmont Bar Association was removed by “INSERT ACT”. The reasons for this was the RBA had not done anything to benefit the members or the Commonwealth. They had only done disbarments and nothing more.
In 2026 however, Representative ToadKing had proposed the reintroduction of the RBA, they had stated "Establishing a professional association for lawyers encourages cooperation, professional development, and the progress of legal standards.” and "The current “BAR”, established under Executive Order 37/25, is ill-equipped to facilitate the duties for which it was created.” The bill was then passed by the senate and received Presidential Assent from President Technofied.
The Department of State held elections shortly afterwards, resulting in the founding Council being elected. The founding Council consisted of Culls, AsexualDinosaur, TheSnowGuardian, Anthony_org, with Dr_Eksplosive being the Chairperson of the RBA.
Around a month later the “BAR Act” had been proposed, passed, and received presidential assent. This renamed the RBA to BAR, as it was originally named the BAR.
