Our Heritage

Who We Are

A Legacy of Legal Excellence

The Madras High Court was established in the year 1862 by a Royal Charter. Barristers practicing in the High Court formed an Association in the year 1865.

The first recorded meeting of the Association was held on 14th March, 1865. In its early years, British Barristers were enrolled as members before Indian Barristers were subsequently permitted to join.

The Association has continued to evolve alongside the legal profession and remains committed to professional development, education and the interests of the legal fraternity.
