Ontario Bar Association (OBA)
The Ontario Bar Association (OBA) is a branch of the Canadian Bar Association, an organization of lawyers formed to provide support by the profession to the profession so that it may render better service to its members and the public. This is accomplished by both education and representation to government on topics of current concern.
The Ontario Bar Association is the only voluntary Association in Ontario to which a practising lawyer, non-practising lawyer, law student or judge can belong whose objectives are broad enough to fill every need of the Bench and Bar, and also the only organization in a position to represent a lawyer if necessary in an adversary posture in negotiations or confrontations with either federal or provincial governments. OBA has the freedom and flexibility to cope with any interest of the legal profession in any situation, regardless of how, when or where it is involved.
The Ontario Bar Association provides lawyers with opportunities to become more efficient and effective, to further their professional education and to keep abreast of current developments within the profession, nationally and provincially. Membership in the Association entitles lawyers to participate in these educational programs at a lower cost than non-members. In addition, members can take an active role in law reform and law amendment, both provincially and federally.
The Association also fosters liaison between lawyers and other professionals, and lawyers and law teachers.
