Spanish term

CAJAS DE ABOGADOS

Spanish to English Law/Patents Law (general)
This is a report on a Congress that takes place yearly for Lawyers from around the world, at the beginning of which they make the following clarification:

(Para generalizar la referencia a los distintos sistemas previsionales para Abogados existentes en muchos Países de América Latina y Europa, empleamos la denominación genérica de CAJAS o CAJAS DE ABOGADOS, al margen de la distinta naturaleza jurídica y pública o privada de las mismas).

The heading before this is: COMISIÓN. JUBILACIÓN Y PENSIONES.

I cannot find any references on internet about the Cajas de Abogados, so I am not entirely sure what it makes reference to.

For extra context, here is some more text further down:

En este sentido, como objetivos logísticos de la Comisión, deben fijarse dos:
 En el ámbito de EUROPA, lograr la participación de representantes de las CAJAS DE ABOGADOS ITALIANA y FRANCESA, que con las CAJAS PORTUGUESAS y ESPAÑOLA, han sido tradicionalmente el núcleo de la COMISIÓN, y, además, gestionar la presencia de las organizaciones ALEMANAS y AUSTRÍACAS, con sistemas de CAPITALIZACIÓN análogos a los de la MUTUALIDAD ESPAÑOLA, que nos permitan avanzar y aprender de este debate permanente entre SISTEMAS DE REPARTO vr. SISTEMA DE CAPITALIZACIÓN, que es el mismo debate político que se está planteando el Gobierno de la COMUNIDAD EUROPEA respecto a la estructura futura que deben tener los sistemas públicos de Seguridad Social para los países integrantes de la C.E.E.

Any help, greatly appreciated.

Thanks very much to you all for your help... Phil, thanks, I wasn't finding the hits related to pensions specifically, which is what I was hoping for, although I'm sure there would have been a few thousand had I looked further than the first page. I felt I was guessing (never a good idea when translating)... http://www.ruralvia.com/cms/estatico/rvia/grupo/ruralvia/es/... various pages like this, for example, weren't helping and were first up on my google search. Thanks anyway.

Thanks, Taña It gets over 20,000 Google hits, so I'm surprised Rachael couldn't find it.

Funds might be an acceptable generic term for this. As in pension fund, etc.

fund (pension fund or other)

Caja is a fund. In the context, it is likely a pension fund.
Example sentence:

La caja de pensiones de abogados en Bolivia permite a éstos jubilarse a los 60 años.
