The professions of law and legal consultancy are professions that require a high commitment to ethical and professional standards. To ensure that these two professions operate in accordance with legal and ethical controls, the Professional Conduct Committee for Lawyers and Legal Consultants in the Emirate of Dubai was formed pursuant to Administrative Resolution No. (112) of 2017 regarding the Professional Conduct Committee for Lawyers and Legal Consultants and its amendments, and was reconstituted pursuant to Administrative Resolution No. (54) of 2022 regarding the Disciplinary Accountability System for Lawyers and Legal Consultants in the Emirate of Dubai. The Lawyers and Legal Consultants Violations Committee was also formed in the Emirate of Dubai pursuant to Administrative Resolution No. (55) of 2022. These two committees play an important role as they aim to provide a fair and transparent mechanism for dealing with professional and behavioral violations issued by violating lawyers and legal consultants. This course focuses on the ethics of the legal profession and legal advice, the rules of professional conduct that must be adhered to by lawyers and legal advisors, and the consequences of violating them, including disciplinary accountability and professional and behavioral responsibility.
