	Right of Voluntary Association
		The principal instances of a necessary association are a conscript military body and civil society, or the State, the concept of voluntary association covers organizations as diverse as a manufacturing corporation and a religious sodality.
		During the period of political chaos that followed the fall of the Empire, liberty of association was as extensive as could be expected among populations whose civil rulers were not sufficiently powerful either to repress or to protect the formation of voluntary unions.
		All of these associations were instituted either under the active direction of the Church, or with her warm encouragement and as a rule without any serious opposition on the part of the civil power.

	Voluntary association - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A voluntary association (also sometimes called an unincorporated association, or just an association) is a group of individuals who voluntarily enter into an agreement to form a body (or organization) to accomplish a purpose.
		Associations may take the form of a non-profit organization or they may be not-for-profit corporations; this does not mean that the association cannot make benefits from its activity, but all the benefits must be reinvested.
		In Texas, state law has statutes concerning unincorporated nonprofit associations that allow unincorporated associations that meet certain criteria to operate as an entity independent of its members, with the right to own property, make contracts, sue and be sued, as well as limited liability to it officers and members.

	NHBA - Where Have We Been - The Case for a Voluntary & Independent Bar in NH
		Accordingly, the Court held that "the Association should limit its activities before the General Court to those matters which are related directly to the efficient administration of the judicial system; the composition and operation of the courts; and the education, ethics, competence, integrity and regulation, as a body, of the legal profession".
		For example, there are members of the Association on both sides of the questions of whether or not repeal RSA 508:4-c, which requires that contingent fee agreements be filed with the Clerks of Superior Court, and whether or not to challenge the administrative position of the Labor Department which "caps" contingent fees at 20 percent.
		Schneyer hypothesized that the superior fundraising ability of voluntary bar associations might be the result of a resistance to dues increases in unified bars by those members who would prefer not to be members of the unified bar at all.

	Bar association - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Some bar associations are responsible for the regulation of the legal profession in their jurisdiction; others are professional organizations dedicated to serving their members; in many cases, they are both.
		In many Commonwealth jurisdictions, the "bar association" comprises lawyers who are qualified as barristers or advocates (collectively known as "the bar", or "members of the bar"), while the "law society" comprises solicitors.
		Such associations are often focused on common professional interests (such as bankruptcy lawyers or in-house counsel) or common ethnic interests (such as gender, race, religion, or national heritage), such as the Hispanic National Bar Association.

	(72) * Neighborhood Voluntary Associations and Social Capital: A Network Analysis [Jennifer L. Glanville]
		This paper addresses recurrent claims that voluntary associations create social networks and trust in neighborhoods, a common assumption in the social capital literature that has not been adequately evaluated empirically.
		I develop an argument for why participation in voluntary associations, which is often used as a primary measure of aggregate-level social capital, should shape and reflect the network structure of individuals in a community and consequently the network structure of the entire neighborhood.
		If participation in associations is related to network structure at the individual level, this has implications for the network structure of neighborhoods where there is a high level of organizational participation.

	Voluntary Associations
		The individual church is regarded as an association of people who choose to be part of that church—membership is completely voluntary.
		However, the voluntary aspect of the association cuts the other way as well: people are admitted into the church only if they are collectively approved by the congregation.
		This concept of "voluntary associations" would produce several parallel concepts in European thought: social contract, rights, and representative democracy, and form the basis for the National Assembly in revolutionary France and the foundational ideas of Declaration of Independence.

	Commentary: Voluntary Association and Union Politics
		First, each person is free to associate with any other willing person or persons for any purposes that do not trespass against the rights of any third parties.
		Second—and this is implied by the first—each person is free to decline to associate with any person or persons no matter how fervently those others may desire the association.
		Labor unions should not be immune from the challenge to constantly respond to their constituencies and changes in the marketplace.

	Future Positive : Welcome
		At the root of the problem of distinguishing between coercion and voluntary association is the failure to distinguish between manmade slavery and metaphysical slavery.
		That sounds noble and chivalrous, but if the ideal of voluntary association is to prevail in the long-run, those who hold that ideal must have permission to mislead the practitioners of offensive force long enough to acquire sufficient means for an effective defense.
		It is generally easier to discern the difference between voluntary relationships and coercive relationships among private citizens than between the same citizens and their government.
