Kamal Ramkarran

The Bar Council of the Guyana Bar Association (GBA) is finalising its list of nominees for the Legal Practitioners Committee (LPC), which could be up and running by the end of this month, GBA President Kamal Ramkarran says.

The life of the previously constituted LPC came to an end last year and up to that point it was actively hearing complaints made by persons about the conduct of attorneys.

Ramkarran, during a recent interview with Stabroek News, underscored the importance of lawyers being held accountable for any wrongdoing they commit and informed that since being elected to office on May 31, 2017, he has received a handful of complaints from the aggrieved clients of some practitioners.
