- The Plenary is the highest representative body of Greek lawyers.
- The independence and autonomy of Greek Bar Associations, as determined in the article 89 of the Code of Lawyers, is unaffected by the function, the suggestions and the decisions of the Plenary of Presidents. The decisions of the Plenary are the guidelines for decision taking by the organs of the Greek Bar Association and are useful for dealing with their problems and the realization of their goals.
- Automatically, the Presidents of Greek Bar Associations are members of the Plenary, after their election. The President of a Bar, in case of impediment, can appoint a member of the Council Board to replace him.

- The annual subscription of each Bar,defined by decision of the Plenary, is the financial resource of the Plenary. A regulation compiled by a committee of seven members and approved by the Plenary by majority, regulates matters of the Plenary’s function.
