Member Voices

Why advocates across Kaski call the association their professional home.

The association's CLE programmes keep me current with every amendment. It is the professional home I rely on in Pokhara.
Adv. Rajesh KoiralaMember since 2012
Through the legal aid camps I have helped clients who could never have afforded a lawyer. That is why I joined the bar.
Adv. Pabitra ThapaLegal aid volunteer
The orientation for new advocates made my first appearances far less daunting. Seniors here genuinely mentor.
Adv. Suman GurungNewly licensed advocate
Membership renewal used to mean a day at the office. Paying online in two minutes is a small change that respects our time.
Adv. Nisha PariyarMember since 2016
