Lawyer’s Day has been celebrated for 51 years in Venezuela every June 23
Today is Lawyer’s Day in Venezuela.
June 23 was established as National Lawyer’s Day by decree of 1972 by President Rafael Caldera, at the initiative of the Federation of Venezuelan Bar Associations.
It is the commemorative date of the birth of Dr. Cristóbal Mendoza, a civil hero who was born in Trujillo on June 23, 1772 and who, in addition to being the first president of independent Venezuela, practiced law.
One of the aspects of Dr. Cristóbal Mendoza to highlight for Venezuelan Law is the role he played in the formation of the independent Venezuelan State through the construction of its republican legal institutionality, based on the separation of powers, respect for citizen rights and the independence of the judiciary. Role that was recognized by El Libertador, in a letter of 1813, by requiring him to come from his exile.

In each state of Venezuela there is a Bar Association, which in addition to being a union center, which has a large part of its infrastructure oriented to the recreation and entertainment of the lawyer’s family, also fulfills a function of service to the community, with different dependencies established for it.
