Our Work

STRENGTH IN NUMBERS

We focus our members’ influence in key areas of law – with government, regulators, the courts and media – in ways individual lawyers or firms cannot accomplish alone.

The Canadian Bar Association is the only national association with a mandate to protect the professional and commercial interests of the legal profession and to promote the rule of law. As such, our voice is a powerful, credible one for legislative, regulatory and policy development in many areas of the law.
