The BAR ASSOCIATION OF SAINT LUCIA now enacted by Act of Parliament No. 31 of 2000 was first founded in or about 1955 with the aim of providing support for lawyers and assisting the judiciary in whatever small way we can in furthering the administration of justice on the island. There are presently about 100 members of the Association. For our lawyers, membership expands their networks, fosters camaraderie and engenders a sense of professionalism, for the public at large. The Bar Association is committed to generating, awareness of the role that lawyers play and informing joe public of the myriad ways in which the legal system can be put to work to solve day-to-day problems.
