Tayeb on Legal Practice Challenges
The article discusses the crisis facing the legal profession in Morocco regarding the draft law regulating the profession, which has been met with widespread rejection since December 2025. The text highlights that the project represents a step back from a legal heritage established by the late Hassan II and threatens the independence of lawyers by involving the Ministry of Justice in the details of the profession, integrating it more closely with the executive authority. Legal expert Abdelkebir Tabiḥ emphasizes that the immunity enjoyed by lawyers is essential to ensure they perform their duties freely and warns against vague language that opens the door to interpretations which could restrict the fundamental rights of both lawyers and litigants. He also clarifies that the funds owed to lawyers from the enforcement of judgments are subject to strict legal and institutional controls, and any amendments must align with constitutional principles that guarantee the independence of the profession. He affirms that the draft law before Parliament threatens the core of the advocacy profession's independence and believes that referring the law to the Constitutional Court would help preserve these fundamental principles, stressing the importance of activating constitutional dialogue from the outset during the discussion of draft laws.
