THE COUNCIL OF BARS AND LAW SOCIETIES OF EUROPE (CCBE)

The Council of Bars and Law Societies of Europe (CCBE) is the representative organisation of more than 1 million European lawyers through its member bars and law societies from 32 full member countries, and 12 further associate and observer countries. The CCBE is an international non-profit-making association incorporated in Belgium. The CCBE is at the forefront of advancing the views of European lawyers and defending the legal principles upon which democracy and the rule of law are based. The CCBE represents European bars and law societies in their common dealings before European and other international institutions. The CCBE is recognised as the voice of the European legal profession by the national bars and law societies on the one hand, and by the EU institutions on the other. It acts as the liaison between the EU and Europe’s national bars and law societies. The CCBE has regular institutional contacts with the relevant interlocutors within the European Commission, the European Parliament and the Council of the EU. It also liaises with the Court of Justice of the European Union and the European Court of Human Rights, both of which have accepted the CCBE as an intervener in cases to represent the interests of the legal profession in Europe. As of 2013, the CCBE also has observer status in the Consultative Council of Judges of the Council of Europe
