Armenian Bar Association

The Armenian Bar Association was formed in 1989 to provide an arena for lawyers of Armenian heritage to come together socially and professionally and to address the legal concerns of the Armenian community. It is a California nonprofit public benefit corporation whose members and sponsors approve its by-laws, elect a Board of Governors, nominate honorary members, and set annual policy. The Association describes dual goals of professional growth and community advancement, expressed through liaison work supporting the emergence of a rule of law society in the Republic of Armenia, pro bono assistance, and legal education seminars. It also states a commitment to take steps permitted under international law regarding recognition of the independence of the Artsakh Republic and the right to self-determination of the people of the Artsakh Republic.
