The Canadian Bar Association ("CBA") (the Association du Barreau canadien (AABC) in French) is the Canadian voluntary bar association formed in 1896 representing the interests of 38,000 lawyers, judges, notaries, law teachers, and law students from across Canada involved in the legal system. It was incorporated by an Act of Parliament on April 15, 1921. About two-thirds of Canada's lawyers are members. The organization is affiliated with the Commonwealth Law Association, the International Bar Association and the Union internationale des avocates.
