PROFESSIONAL BODIES FOR LAWYERS/ATTORNEYS AROUND THE WORLD

Note: Some of the following organisations are not professional bodies as such in that they appear to have no general regulatory control over members and are therefore seem more akin to trade associations or specialist focus groups. In some jurisdictions, the bar association comprises lawyers who are qualified as barristers or advocates in particular, versus solicitors. Membership in bar associations may be mandatory or optional for practicing attorneys, depending on jurisdiction. The entries have been included (in alphabetical order) by zone corresponding with the zones in our World Business resource section at blog.bizezia.com.
