Founded in 1994, this binational bar has the purpose to develop and promote understanding of the legal systems and practices and cultural differences; to exchange professional information among its members, concerning issues of law that affect common interest.
The bar groups outstanding practitioners of law firms, in-house counsels, academics, and law students from the USA and Mexico.
The bar seeks to interconnect with attorneys in private practice as well as those serving the judicial systems or governments of both countries, to enrich the knowledge of all the members.
