The CCLA was formed in Ottawa in 1888 by a group of 60 lawyers, and is now the second largest law association in Ontario.
The CCLA was originally formed as a professional association to provide a law library to its members. Today, this not-for-profit association continues to provide valuable library and research services, and has also grown to become a leading organization committed to offering its members advocacy, legal education, and guidance through the ongoing challenges facing the profession.
The CCLA is governed by a volunteer board of lawyers from all practice areas and represents all sizes of firms.
Located in the Ottawa Courthouse, we provide a full service library to the local legal community, as well as continuing professional development opportunities and social events.
