Albanian Chamber of Advocacy
The reform for the exercise of the profession of lawyer in Albania is proceeding with fast and concrete steps. The law on the profession of lawyer is already the fundamental act that guides the administration of the National Chamber of Advocacy towards best, contemporary practices and an organizational transformation, where services to lawyers and applications for lawyers take priority, and an efficient appeal system. This radical change does not happen overnight, but the foundations have been laid and clearly and irrevocably are working towards a modern model system. The new partnership with active lawyers enables more interaction and requires recognition and honest implementation of rights and obligations on both sides. ACA plays a fundamental role in implementing justice reform in Albania in the framework of the integration process.
