Jamaican Bar Association

The Jamaican Bar Association is a voluntary body for attorneys-at-law in Jamaica, based at 78 to 80 Harbour Street in Kingston. Its site runs a members login alongside an online membership application, a members list, and a statement of membership benefits, so joining and accessing member material both happen on the site rather than offline.

Behind the login the association publishes practice resources, including recordings of sessions, the Jambar Journal, association documents, and continuing legal education seminar papers. The site is organised around the association's standing committees, which cover alternative dispute resolution and mediation, civil practice and procedure, commercial law, constitutional law and human rights, conveyancing and probate, criminal practice, employment law and industrial relations, family law, intellectual property, international trade law, law practice management, legal reform, maritime law, revenue, and telecommunications, broadcasting and technology.

Event registration is handled on the site as well, covering the annual flagship conference and face to face events. The association is distinct from the General Legal Council, which is the statutory regulator rather than a voluntary membership body.
