Model legislation has been drafted to aid in the strengthening of the disciplinary procedures and accounting rules governing members of the legal profession, Attorney General Basil Williams SC announced on Wednesday evening.
“Our attorneys are not easily persuaded that they could be disciplined in any way, shape or form…,” Williams said, while expressing hope that the model Legal Profession Bill, once approved, will push attorneys to conduct themselves professionally at all times.
Williams was at the time addressing the opening ceremony of Improved Access to Justice in the Caribbean (IMPACT Justice Project) meetings of the Legal Profession and Legislation Committee and the Business Names Legislation Committee.
