Havana Bar Association

The Havana Bar Association (Spanish: Colegio de Abogados de la Habana), founded in the 19th century, was a legal institution of lawyers and law students in Havana, the capital of Cuba.

The governing body of the Havana Bar Association comprised a dean, six deputies, a treasurer, and a secretary.

[1] The association held an annual meeting to discuss the administration's report.

[2] Following the Cuban Revolution in 1959, the bar association was disbanded, and a usurping group of Communist dissident lawyers forcibly took over its offices on July 5, 1960.

[7] By 1962, several hundred members of the association sought refuge in the United States.
