For the Star Trek: Deep Space Nine episode, see Bar Association %28Star Trek: Deep Space Nine%29. A 'bar association is a professional body of lawyers. Some bar associations are responsible for the regulation of the legal profession in their jurisdiction; others are professional organizations dedicated to serving their members; in many cases, they are both.

In many Commonwealth of Nations jurisdictions, the "bar association" comprises lawyers who are qualified as barristers or advocates (collectively known as "the bar", or "members of the bar"), while the "law society" comprises solicitors. These bodies are sometimes mutually exclusive. In other jurisdictions, the "bar" may refer to the entire community of persons engaged in the practice of law.

United States Membership in the bar is a privilege burdened with conditions. :-Benjamin N. Cardozo, In re Rouss, 221 N.Y. 81, 84 (1917)

In the United States, Admission to the bar in the United States is permission granted by a particular court system to a lawyer to practice law in that system. This is to be distinguished from membership in a bar association.In the United States, some states require bar association membership for all attorneys, while others do not.

Mandatory, integrated or unified bar associations Some states require membership in the state's bar association to practice law there. Such an organization is called a mandatory, integrated, or unified bar. They exist at present in a slight majority of U.S. states, including Alabama, Alaska, Arizona, California, Florida, Georgia (U.S. state), Idaho, Kentucky, Louisiana, Michigan, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Mexico, North Dakota, Oregon, Rhode Island, South Dakota, Texas, Utah, Virginia, Washington, West Virginia, Wisconsin, and Wyoming. The District of Columbia, the U.S. Virgin Islands, Puerto Rico, Guam and the Northern Mariana Islands also have unified bars.

In some states, like Wisconsin, the mandatory membership requirement is implemented through an order of the state supreme court, which can be revoked or cancelled at any time at the court's discretion. In others, like Oregon, the state legislature passed a law and created a new government agency. California went farther than any other state and wrote the State Bar of California into California Constitution.

The first state to have an integrated bar association was North Dakota in 1921.Lawrence M. Friedman, American Law in the Twentieth Century (New Haven, Connecticut: Yale University Press, 2002), 41.

Voluntary bar associations A Voluntary association bar association is a private organization of lawyers. Each chooses its own purposes (e.g. social, educational, and lobbying functions), but does not regulate the practice of law or admit lawyers to practice.

There is a statewide voluntary bar association in every state that has no mandatory or integrated bar association. There are also many voluntary bar associations organized by city, county, or other community. Such associations are often focused on common professional interests (such as bankruptcy lawyers or in-house counsel) or common Ethnic group interests (such as gender, race, religion, or Nation heritage), such as the Hispanic National Bar Association. The American Bar Association is the voluntary bar association with the largest membership. Such associations often advocate for law reform and provide information, pro bono services or a lawyer referral service to the general public.

There is no mandatory federal bar association; the Federal Bar Association is a private, voluntary group.

Most American law schools have a Student Bar Association that fulfills various functions including serving as the student government.

Judges Judges may or may not be members of the bar. Etymologically, they sit "on the bench", and the cases which come before them are "at bar" or "at bench". Many states in the United States require that some or all judges be members of the bar; typically these limit or completely prohibit the judges from practicing law while serving as a judge.

The U.S. Constitution contains no requirement that Federal judges or Supreme Court justices be members of the bar. However, there are no modern instances of the President nominating or the Congress approving any candidate who is not a member of any bar. There are various professional associations of judges, such as the American Judges Association, that perform some of the educational and other service functions of bar associations.

In Canada, one is Call to the bar after undertaking a post law school training in a province law society program, and undergoing an apprenticeship or taking articles. Legal communities are called provincial law society, except for Nova Scotia, where it is called the " Nova Scotia Barristers' Society", and Quebec, where it is called the Barreau du Quebec.

In Pakistan, one becomes a member of the bar after fullfiling certain requirements. They must have a valid law degree from a recognized university, and they offer certain undertakings and pay the Bar Association fees. If a person does not hold an LL.M Degree then they must first complete six months pupillage with a practising Advocate, whom they must have assisted on at least ten cases during their six-month pupillage period.

Etymological History The use of the term bar to mean "the whole body of lawyers, the legal profession" comes ultimately from England custom. In the early 16th century, a railing divided the hall in the Inns of Court, with students occupying the body of the hall and readers or bencher on the other side. Students who officially became lawyers crossed the symbolic physical barrier and were "admitted to the bar".{{cite web] stood to plead. In modern courtrooms, a railing may still be in place to enclose the space which is occupied by legal counsel as well as the Criminal law defendants and Civil law (common law) litigants who have business pending before the court.
