Commonwealth Lawyers Association
Commonwealth Lawyers Association is The first Commonwealth & Empire Law Conference was held in London in 1955. An Executive Committee comprising of representatives of a number of law societies/bar associations across the Commonwealth was responsible for the organisation of the conference. In organising the second Commonwealth & Empire Law Conference (Canada, 1960), the organisers realised that as the number of members of the Commonwealth had increased since 1955, planning decisions had to be made by the host country in consultation with the newly appointed Inter – Commonwealth Advisory Committee (ICAC) comprising of lawyers from 10 Commonwealth countries.
The Commonwealth Lawyers’ Association (CLA) is an international organisation which exists to promote and maintain the rule of law throughout the Commonwealth by ensuring that an independent and efficient legal profession, with the highest standards of ethics and integrity, serves the people of the Commonwealth. Lawyers have much to learn from the comparative experience of other Commonwealth countries and share substantial common ground in their legal systems, education and practice. In the pursuit of these objectives, the CLA participates in a wide range of activities including advocacy, undertaking research projects, organising the biannual Commonwealth Law Conference and providing services to our members.
