Attorney Misconduct
Outreach programme launched to empower communities against unscrupulous lawyers
Legal practitioners in Kariega, Eastern Cape, hosted a community outreach engagement on Friday to launch national campaigns educating the public on reporting dishonest attorneys. The initiative addresses growing concerns over accountability in the legal profession, following the disbarring of 57 attorneys since 2018 for misconduct including theft from vulnerable clients. The programme seeks to increase awareness and reporting of such cases.
