Chamber of Advocates Malta

The Malta Chamber of Advocates represents the corps of advocates admitted to the Bar of Malta. It is a voluntary non-political non-Governmental organisation funded by the fees payable by members and by funds raised from the activities it organises, and is recognised at law as the consultative and participatory representative of advocates in matters related to the organisation and administration of justice. The Chamber acts as a professional association, a lobbyist, an educator and, to a degree, as a regulator as well as being available to provide guidance to advocates and to the public at large on matters of professional ethics and the proper exercise of the function and office of advocate. The Chamber seeks to organise seminars to up-date the profession on matters both of substantive and of procedural law, as well as participating, either as a lobbyist or as a direct participant, in initiatives to amend and consolidate legislation
