Why Join the IBA
Benefits of IBA membership
People
Whether you are looking to develop businesses or to strengthen connections in your own and other countries, the IBA provides a cost-effective forum to help you do so. The IBA is the perfect place to form a wider view on issues affecting the industry, size up possibilities for correspondent relationships or mergers, or reassess your strategies by debating issues with your peers.
Information
The IBA is the world’s largest international resource centre. Legal experts in every specialisation add regularly to our global library of articles and papers, made available to members through specialist publications both in print and online.
Learning
Each year some 30 events are staged around the globe, from specialist events that address numerous areas of practice, to the highlight of the legal calendar, our Annual Conference attracting up to 3,000 delegates. Expert practitioners and leading representatives from government and regulatory bodies present extensive programmes – where participants can get actively involved in discussion and debate.
The content and style of all our conferences and publications are designed by lawyers for lawyers – dialogue is the key, ensuring the sharing of practical experience, resulting in increased educational value.
Attending an IBA conference is a great way to fulfil your CPD/CLE requirements. (Please see individual conference programmes for details of participating bar associations/law societies)
Support
The IBA’s Human Rights Institute (IBAHRI) was established in 1995 under the honorary presidency of Nelson Mandela. It works to promote, protect and enforce human rights under a just rule of law, and welcomes members from all areas of practice.
