The Bar Council has called for an extraordinary general meeting (EGM) to discuss issues pertinent to last Saturday's Bersih 3.0 rally.
According to an official circular posted on its website, the EGM will be held next Friday in a Kuala Lumpur hotel.
The agenda is to discuss a motion proposed by Bar Council chairperson Lim Chee Wee "in relation to the events of and surrounding the public rally on 28 April 2012 organised by Bersih 3.0, and matters in connection therewith".
No further detail is provided in the circular.
The EGM needs a quorum of 500.
The Bar had deployed a 78-member monitoring team during the rally and subsequently released an interim report on Tuesday.

Lim had also announced that the Bar is mulling the gathering of volunteer lawyers to file civil suits on behalf of victims of violence during the rally.
"We will talk to our members, if we can gather enough members of the Bar to volunteer to interview all the victims of human rights violations and probably pursue civil suits," he said.
