Forum Overview

The problems facing African lawyers are different to those affecting lawyers in other regions. To this end, the African Regional Forum was created to identify and address these problems. The aims of the African Forum are as follows:

to further enhance the objectives of the International Bar Association (IBA) by means of cooperation, support of bar associations in developing countries, development of laws, exchange of information and ideals
develop interest about the International Bar Association in Africa and provide information to local lawyers on the work of the International Bar Association
to assist new and potential IBA members when attending conferences and becoming involved in the IBA Committee work
coordinating the various Divisions, Sections and Committees of the International Bar Association by way of hosting regional conferences, workshops, seminars and various study groups in Africa
to initiate programs that will promote specialization and partnership in the legal profession in Africa;
to liase with the other regional fora, enabling members of the African forum to learn from their counterparts
to educate the African society about their rights and duties in their relationship with each other and their governments, by creating awareness of the role of law in democratic societies
to provide a forum for the regulation of the profession, training of aspirant practitioners, continued legal education, legal reforms and interaction with government in Africa
to establish a regular newsletter and other communique to serve as a channel for information to be exchanged and shared among members
to strengthen sub-regional bars in the continent
to strengthen the relationship between the bench and bar as well as issues of discipline
to facilitate the exchange of law reports, books, video tapes and other equipment between developed and developing bars
