The Waterloo Region Law Association is Ontario's sixth largest law association with over 620 members. We were founded in Berlin, now Kitchener, in 1894 by a group of nine lawyers for the purpose of sharing library resources. Today our not-for-profit association continues to provide valuable library services and has grown to offer its members legal education, advocacy, and community through the ongoing challenges facing the profession.
The WRLA is governed by a volunteer board of lawyers and paralegals from all practice areas and sizes of law firms. The WRLA represents our members to the Ontario bench and bar, to all levels of government, and to the public at large.
WRLA staff cannot provide legal advice, referrals, or research assistance to the public. The WRLA Library is closed to the public.
Should you need legal advice, consult our Member Directory and Legal Resources for the Public page.
