The Palestinian Bar Association (Arabic: النقابة الفلسطينية للمحامين) is an organization that represents lawyers in the State of Palestine. It was established in 1973 and has its headquarters in Ramallah.
The Palestinian Bar Association was founded in 1973, during the period of the Palestine Liberation Organization's (PLO) armed struggle against Israel. The Association was established as a professional organization for lawyers in the Palestinian territories, with the aim of promoting the rule of law and defending the legal rights of Palestinians.[1][2]
Structure
The Palestinian Bar Association is governed by a council that is elected by its members every three years. The council is responsible for setting the Association's policies and priorities, and for overseeing its activities. The Association also has a number of committees that focus on specific areas of legal practice, such as human rights, commercial law, and criminal law.[3]
