The earliest trace of the Lahore High Court Bar as a body to be acknowledged and accepted starts from 1882.

In October 1882, the judges of the Chief Court passed a resolution requesting Mr. C. H. Spitta, Barrister-at-Law (then a leading member of the legal fraternity and later to become a temporary judge of the Chief Court) to convene a Special Meeting of the Bar, to devise measures to root out touting.

At the meeting, ten resolutions to root out touting were passed by the Lahore Bar and their copies transmitted to the Registrar of the Chief Court, for his attention.

From these items of evidence, it can fairly be inferred that the Lahore Bar assumed some maturity by 1882 and became an entity which commanded attention and to which the Chief Court had to look to for assistance.

In 1910 the executive committee recommended that the Chief Court Bar Association should be registered and that the Secretary should take necessary steps for this purpose.
