Iran Central Bar Association

The Iran Bar Association was originally founded in 1915 under the supervision of the country's judiciary system. In 1937, Article 18 of the Law of Attorneyship granted the Bar Association "legal personality", thus making it nominally independent, at least on financial issues; however, it still remained subordinate to the Justice Ministry. Full independence would not be achieved until 1953. ==Duties==

The duties of the Bar Association are as follows: • Granting licenses to candidates who meet the legal requirements. • Administration of affairs regarding the representation of the judiciary and supervision of the actions of lawyers and employers. • Investigation of violations and disciplinary prosecution of lawyers and judicial officials by the prosecutor's office and the disciplinary court of lawyers. • Judicial assistance • Provide tools for the scientific and practical advancement of lawyers. == References ==
