Bursa Barosu

What Bursa Barosu does

Bursa Barosu is a professional bar association (kamu kurumu niteliğinde meslek kuruluşu) serving registered lawyers in Bursa, Turkey, founded in 1909. It operates as a quasi-public professional institution under the Avukatlık Kanunu (Attorneys Act) and is affiliated with the Türkiye Barolar Birliği (Union of Turkish Bar Associations). All lawyers practicing in Bursa province are mandatory members. The organization provides CMK (Compulsory Defense) appointment coordination, legal aid services (Adli Yardım), mediation (Uzlaşma), continuing legal education, disciplinary oversight, and advocacy for lawyer rights through seven specialized centers covering advocate rights, children's rights, women's rights, young lawyers, education, internship training, and CMK coordination. Social and cultural programming includes theater (Tiyatro Advocato), music (Baro Müzik), and sports (Baro Spor) activities for members.

The technology stack comprises a bar association management system with the Baronet online portal for member transactions, the Bursa Barosu Mobil Uygulaması (mobile app on iOS and Android), the Baro Bilgi Bankası (legal knowledge base), and the CMK Online Ödeme Sistemi for electronic payment processing via OCAS. The organization integrates with national judicial infrastructure including UYAP and UHAP for court communications, E-İmza (electronic signature) via UBAP, and partnerships with TÜRAVAK, İcraTek, KararTek, BüroTek, and Tazminat Online for member-facing technology services.

Bursa Barosu does not operate as a commercial enterprise. Revenue derives from mandatory member contributions (aidat/kesenek) and CMK fee coordination flowing through the baro, with fee schedules governed by the Türkiye Barolar Birliği's Avukatlık Ücret Tarifeleri. Financial information is not publicly disclosed. The organization is governed by a Baro Meclisi (Bar Council), Yönetim Kurulu (Board of Directors), Disiplin Kurulu (Disciplinary Board), and Denetleme Kurulu (Audit Board), with Av. Metin Öztosun serving as current Baro Başkanı (President). Headquarters is co-located within the Bursa Courthouse complex in the Osmangazi district, supplemented by İlçe Temsilcilikleri (district representations) across the province.
