The local Bar Associations in the nineteen districts as wel as the national Bar Association are public-law bodies. There is no hierarchical relationship between the national Bar Association and the local Bar Associations. The local Bar Associations are autonomous, their powers being described in the Act on Advocates. Pursuant to article 26, they promote “a decent exercising of the practice and are authorised to take all measures that can contribute thereto”. This task has been further and succinctly elaborated on in the ten Aims of the Netherlands Bar Association that have been developed by the General Council in 2000.

The members of the Council are elected by the parliament of the Netherlands Bar Association, the Assembly of Delegates. The 75 members of the Board are in their turn elected by the members of the local Bar Associations.
