The Israel Bar Association was established in 1961 as an autonomous statutory entity in order to incorporate the lawyers in Israel and to assure the standard and integrity of the legal profession.

The attached file is intended for lawyers from abroad that are interested in becoming members of the IsraelBar.

Adv. Geiron was elected on July 10 2007 and will serve as President for a term of four years (until July 2011).

The Program enables the implementation of Section 3(2) of the Israel Bar Association Law, which stipulates that "The Bar Association is entitled, inter alia, to provide legal aid to those of limited means". Indeed, the objective of the program is to increase accessibility to the legal system, and to protect the rights of those who lack the means to hire professional legal services.

Israel faces unique problems of security, and religious and ethnic tensions are palpable. Isarel’s legal system, moreover, embodies a unique combination of secular and religious law, with strands of precedent and procedure from many different traditions. The result is a special blend of attitudes on privacy that can only be called "Israeli".
