BVI Bar Association
The BVI Bar Association is a voluntary membership organisation for members of the legal profession in the British Virgin Islands (BVI).〔(Constitution of the BVI Bar Association )〕 The Association was founded on 8 May 1976; of the eight founder members,〔On the constitution the founder members are listed as: L.W. Barker, McW. Todman, J.S. Archibald, J. Smith-Hughes, E.A.C. Hewlett, N.C. Westwood, M. Riegels and L. Stevens.〕 half would go on to serve as President at some point. Residency requirements for members (and the fact that membership is entirely voluntary) mean that not all members of the British Virgin Islands legal profession are members. Most resident lawyers within the BVI do in fact join the BVI Bar Association, but it is relatively rare for non-resident lawyers to join (and most are not eligible to do so unless they hold Belonger status). The BVI Bar Association currently has no statutory functions and it is open to membership by both Barristers and Solicitors within the jurisdiction.
==Name==
Although for historical reason the Association is referred to as the "Bar" Association, it has always been open to both barristers and solicitors. However, since 2015 the British Virgin Islands has had a fused profession, and all lawyers within the jurisdiction are now formally referred to as "legal practitioners".
In early drafts of the Legal Professions Act, 2015 the BVI Bar Association is referred to (incorrectly) as the "Virgin Islands Bar Association". The Government of the British Virgin Islands is keen to promote the use of the Territory's official name of the Virgin Islands (without the prefix "British") in all official documents and publications,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Report of Virgin Islands Constitutional Commissioners 2005 )〕 and the error probably arose as a result of this process. Happily the error was corrected at the very final committee stage before the third reading of the Bill.
