The Code of Law Practice

The decisions of the Disciplinary Committee shall be issued after the prosecution and lawyer’s defense have been heard. Reasoning for such decisions must be stated. The decision and the reasoning thereof shall be read out in full in a closed session. The Ministry of Justice shall notify, within 15 days from the effective date of the final decision, courts of law, the Board of Grievances, and the competent authorities of that decision. Such decisions shall be kept in a special register. In all cases, disciplinary actions shall be communicated by a member of the Disciplinary Committee. Delivery of a copy of the decision to the lawyer concerned in an official manner shall be treated as adequate notice. When the decision has become final, whether it be striking off the lawyer’s name from the list or suspension of his practice, only the decision thereof shall be published, at the lawyer’s expense, in one or more of the newspapers issued in the locality of the lawyer’s place of business. Should there be no newspaper in that locality, it shall be published in a newspaper in the nearest locality.
