| NEW YORK (PAN): The newly formed Afghan Bar Association (AFBA) is seeking Virginia attorneys who would be interested in providing insight and advice to the independent legal organization in Afghanistan.
In an appeal, the Virginia State Bar said the Afghan Bar Association needs additional help as it continues to organize and develop the organization, which is striving to advance the rule of law in Afghanistan.
Afghan Bar Association was established early this year with its inaugural convention in June.
According to the appeal, Afghan Bar Association is looking for those Virginia attorneys as attorneys who have an Afghan background or who speak Dari or Pashtu, who would be interested in establishing a dialogue with members of the AFBA’s executive committee.
The Afghan Bar Association is being assisted by the International Bar Association, which has provided a representative to assist the organization for the next six months as well as financing to establish an AFBA office in Kabul. |
