Abstract: | The Bar Association in Egypt proved itself to be a force to be reckoned with in national politics. Wafdist presidents held sway for all but four years between 1919 and 1952. The article examines the interweaving of national politics with those of the Bar Association in the hope of illuminating a new dimension of Egyptian national political life as well as the smaller world of the Egyptian legal profession Sections: the emergence of the modern legal profession in Egypt - the early years of the Bar Association, 1912-1918 - the rise of the Wafd, 1918-1924 - Copts and the Bar - ups and downs at the Bar Association, 1924-1927 - a decade of Wafdist control of the Bar Association, 1927 -1937 - the Wafd loses control, 1937-1940 - the return of the Wafd and the challenge of Makram 'Ubayd, 1940-1943 - the Wafd controls the Bar, 1943-1954 - the end of the old regime at the Bar Association, 1954.
