Hukuk ve siyaset meslekler ve siyaset Baro ve siyaset hukuk mesleği İstanbul Barosu Türkiye
Istanbul Bar Association is among the oldest professional organizations in
Turkey and with almost 40,000 registered lawyers it is also one of the largest
bar associations in the world. With this invested authority, it is also one of the
most influential actors in determining the relationship between the state and
the profession which has historically been a contested one due to the extent of
the Bar’s political engagement. Controversies around the extent and the form of
this engagement have led to various divisions within the Bar since mid-1970s.
In this paper, we look at 2018 Bar elections and examine campaigns of different
groups competing for power in order to reveal different approaches to the Bar
“doing politics”. We argue that the boundaries between politics at large and
politics of the profession are situationally determined and hence contingent
upon differing actors, circumstances and priorities.
