- Abstract
The article argues that the creation of the Chilean Bar Association in 1925 was one of the institutional responses of elite lawyers to the perception of a crisis in the legal profession. This crisis reflected a transitional stage in the professionalization of lawyering and its emerging democratization. Between 1900 and 1920, discourses related to the corruption and politicization of the judiciary and the threat of tinterillos (lay legal practitioners) reflected the tensions between traditional lawyers and new middle-class professionals. The political rupture of 1925 allowed elite lawyers to overcome this critical juncture through the creation of the Chilean Bar Association. This organization culminated their project to professionalize the legal field and its design guaranteed their control over an increasingly diversifying profession.
