Everyone wants to say they hate lawyers and yet I've never met a parent who didn't want their kid to be a lawyer.

The Nepal Bar Association (NBA) traces its roots back to December 21st, 1956, a time when legal education in Nepal was in its infancy. During this era, the legal profession predominantly comprised individuals licensed based on their practical experience, devoid of any formal academic qualifications in law. These traditional ractitioners played a crucial role in shaping the legal landscape of the country.

However, as the years progressed, the dynamics of legal education began to shift. With the emergence of law graduates from universities, there came a gradual transition within the legal fraternity. The influx of formally educated lawyers replaced many of the traditional practitioners, signaling a significant evolution in the profession. In its nascent stage, NBA operated without formal registration, functioning as a professional body. It wasn’t until 1963 that the

Government of Nepal officially recognized NBA as a professional organization under the provisions of the National Guidance/Direction Act of 1961. This formal acknowledgment marked a milestone in the association’s journey, solidifying its status within the legal community.
