All members of Calicut Bar Association are requested to join this PAGE. The beginning was simple. It started in 1886 as a Law Library, formed under the then District Judge Mr. Frank H. Wilkinson. It bore the name 'Wilkinson's Law Library'. It was then an organization of Judges and Lawyers, with the District Judge as President. Messrs. Lewis Moore and R. Read moreH. Benson followed in Presidentship. But our records do not bear any trace of the organizational set up between 1895 to 1924. Then in 1925, it was the turn of the giant of the Calicut Bar Mr. Raman Menon to sit in the President's chair, aided by Mr. K. Karunakaran Nair as Secretary.

They built the glorious tradition on which this Association's base rests. Sri. K.V. Suryanarayana Iyer, our member was the choice for the first Advocate General of Kerala State on its formation. Again Mr. Ratnasingh rose to the post of the first Director General of Prosecution, when that post was created in Kerala. Sri. P. Govinda Menon and Sri. S.K.
