MAKING A DIFFERENCE
IN THE COOK ISLANDS LAW SOCIETY
ABOUT US
The Cook Islands Law Society is a professional organization that maintains the standards of practice and conduct of lawyers in the Cook Islands. It is established by the Law Practitioners Act 1993-94 (Act).
The Council of the Law Society is elected by its members at the annual general meeting. The President and Vice-President are elected and the Secretary and Treasurer positions are filled by appointment.
Membership in the Law Society is automatic for lawyers admitted to practice in the Cook Islands under the Act, which provides for admission procedures for barristers and solicitors, disciplinary, and trust account obligations, as well as a Code of Ethics.
The Council performs several functions including maintaining records relating to members; making rules concerning admission; ensuring that its members comply with their professional obligations; handling any other matters relating to its membership as may be delegated by Parliament, and submitting reports on such matters to Parliament annually or at such times as required by law or requested by it.
