In law, the Bar Association is the legal profession as an institution derived from the expression «existence of the Bar Association». The term is a metonymy for the line (or «bar») that separates the parts of a courtroom reserved for spectators and those reserved for trial participants, such as lawyers. The Bar Association generally refers to the legal profession as a whole. With a modifier, it can refer to a branch or department of the profession: such as the Bar of Tort – lawyers who specialize in filing civil lawsuits for damages.
