The professional body of lawyers of Casablanca and its region — jurisdiction, courts, and how to find a registered lawyer.
What is the Casablanca Bar Association?
The Casablanca Bar Association is the professional body of lawyers registered within the jurisdiction of the Court of Appeal of Casablanca. Like Morocco's sixteen other bar associations, it regulates the legal profession under Law 28-08 governing the practice of law: maintaining the roll of lawyers, discipline, training, and defending the profession's independence.
To practise before the courts of the district, a lawyer must be registered on the bar's roll or on the trainee list. Verifying a lawyer's registration with the Casablanca Bar Association is therefore an essential step before retaining them.
Jurisdiction and courts
The Casablanca Bar Association covers the district of the Court of Appeal of Casablanca, in the Casablanca-Settat region. Its main cities include: Casablanca, Mohammedia.
Casablanca hosts several courts before which the bar's lawyers practise, including: Commercial Court, Court of Appeal, Court of First Instance.
How to verify a lawyer is registered with the Casablanca Bar Association
Any litigant may confirm that the lawyer they intend to retain is actually on the bar's roll. You can contact the bar's secretariat, located near the Court of Appeal of Casablanca, or simply ask the lawyer for their registration number — a registered lawyer will provide it without hesitation.
Lawyer profiles on the AvocatLib directory also display the registration details declared by the lawyer (bar, year of oath), making comparison easier before you choose.
Legal aid
If your resources are limited, you may apply for legal aid (assistance judiciaire), which allows a lawyer to be appointed without bearing their full fees. Applications are filed with the legal aid office of the competent court; the bar takes part in appointing lawyers under this procedure and in court-appointed criminal defence.
