All China Lawyers Association (ACLA) is the official professional association for lawyers (the bar association in American terminology or law society in Commonwealth terminology) of the People's Republic of China. It was founded on 7 July 1986. It carries out professional administration over lawyers in pursuit of law. All lawyers of China are members of the ACLA. Currently, the ACLA has nearly 110,000 individual members. Its current President is Wang Junfeng (王俊峰).[1]

In August 1998, the American Bar Association offered to assist the All-China Lawyers Association in preparing an independent bar.[2]
