Implementing the direction from the Central Government, closely following the political tasks of the locality, Party committees and authorities at all levels always pay attention to, lead and direct the work of the Lawyers Association in the province.

To date, Nghe An Provincial Lawyers Association has 2,450 members (85% of the total), of which 838 members have been granted cards, accounting for 34%.
However, the dissemination and education of law to the people is still seasonal, lacks initiative, and has not reached remote areas and ethnic minority areas. Models of "Skilled Mass Mobilization" in the dissemination and education of law have not been built. The contribution to the drafting of draft laws is sometimes not timely. The work of the association has not met the requirements, the work of advising the Party and the State on the Association still has many limitations, lacks initiative, so the combined strength of the Association has not been fully promoted.
Through discussion, the opinions expressed clarified the results achieved and the causes of the shortcomings and limitations in the past time; at the same time, proposed solutions to remove difficulties, creating conditions for the Vietnam Lawyers Association at all levels to continue to develop in terms of organization, promote activities to contribute to socio-economic development; ensure national defense and security in the province.

To promote the effectiveness of its activities in the new situation, the Provincial Bar Association needs to continue to propagate, thoroughly grasp and effectively implement Directive No. 14-CT/TW dated July 1, 2022 of the Politburo on continuing to strengthen the Party's leadership over the Vietnam Bar Association in the new situation and documents of the Central and the province on the Bar Association; raise awareness of cadres, party members, members and people about the position and role of the Bar Association.
