The International Bar Association (IBA) is an international association of lawyers and lawyers' associations. The IBA's stated purpose is to promote an exchange of information between legal associations worldwide, support the independence of the judiciary and the right of lawyers to practice their profession without interference, and support human rights for lawyers worldwide through its Human Rights Institute. The organization acts through sections and committees to enable an interchange of information and views among its members as to laws, practices and professional responsibilities relating to the practice of commercial law throughout the world. In doing so, the IBA seeks to "influence the development of international law reform" and "shape the future of the legal profession" globally.

You’d treat if met where any bar is,
Or help to half-a-crown.’”
