Bucharest Bar is the professional body of lawyers in the city of Bucharest, Romania. It is the largest bar in Romania, including 10,000+ active lawyers, representing almost half of the total number of lawyers across the country. Mainly, it is dedicated to serving their members, regulating the legal profession and organizing the mandatory legal assistance in its jurisdiction. In Romania, membership in bar associations is mandatory for practicing. The members of Bucharest Bar have general jurisdiction meaning that they are allowed to practice everywhere in Romania, but not only in Bucharest.
Bucharest Bar was founded on 30 September 1831 and reorganized on 24 June 1865 following the adoption of the first law in Romania regulating the "body of lawyers" (December 1864), Bar Bucharest (Ilfov Bar, as originally called) was the nucleus around which the legal practice has been developed in Romania.
Throughout its history, the Bucharest Bar has undergone several stages of development:
- 1831-1865 were born the premises of legal practice in Romania;
- 1865-1921 period was the age of formation and affirmation, followed by its consolidation (between the two World Wars);
- of distress during the Communist Regime;
