HIBAPRESS – Abdellatif Baraka
The file of the lawyers' profession draft law has returned to the forefront of the political bureau of the Progress and Socialism Party's concerns, in its latest meeting, considering it a sensitive legislative workshop that affects one of the pillars of the justice system.
The meeting, which devoted a significant space to follow up on the developments of this legislative file, stopped at the new developments that the project had witnessed in the wake of the discussions and interactions that the professional environment had witnessed during the recent period, in light of escalating demands to issue a law that responds to the aspirations of lawyers and preserves the privacy of their mission. In this context, the party’s statement, of which "HIBAPRESS" received a copy, stressed that the current stage is of great importance, given the possibility it offers to develop a balanced text, capable of reconciling the requirements of modernizing the profession and guaranteeing its independence, in a way that enhances the lawyer's position within the justice system. The same source affirmed that the bet is not limited to the organizational aspect only, but extends to protecting the profession from practices that may be detrimental to its noble roles, while strengthening the guarantees related to defending rights and freedoms, considering the legal profession as a basic partner in achieving justice. This trend also highlights, according to the contents of the statement, an awareness of the importance of involving various actors in drafting this law, in a way that ensures professional and institutional consensus on its contents, and contributes to the issuance of a text that reflects the expectations of the stage and responds to the transformations of the legal field. This ongoing discussion indicates that the lawyers' draft law is no longer just a technical text, but has turned into a pivotal station to rearrange the relationship between the components of the justice system, on more balanced and effective foundations.
