The WRLA is currently the sixth largest law association in Ontario with over 620 members. Our association was originally founded in Berlin (now Kitchener) in 1895 by a group of nine lawyers as a professional association aimed at providing access to a law library to its members. Today, our not-for-profit association continues to provide valuable library and research services, and has also grown to become a leading organization committed to offering its members advocacy, legal education, mentorship and guidance through the ongoing challenges facing the profession.
