Legal Profession Law: Pending Regulations
The Law regulating the Legal Profession No. 66.23 came into effect after being published in the Official Gazette. However, it exempted three main provisions from immediate implementation. These relate to the requirements for access to the profession, advocacy before the Court of Cassation, and the organization of professional affairs within the lawyers' associations. These provisions are pending the issuance of the necessary regulatory texts to enforce them. These provisions include articles concerning exemptions for certain categories from certifications and training, especially foreign lawyers, as well as provisions for organizing a knowledge test on Moroccan law. The amendments also impact the conditions for pleading before the Court of Cassation; specifically, only lawyers registered for at least 12 years, alongside a select group of judges and professors, and subject to a specialized training determined by a regulatory text, will be eligible to plead before it. Additionally, there is a need to organize internal affairs of the lawyers' councils, which requires the enactment of a regulatory text to implement. Therefore, the application of these provisions depends on the issuance of the relevant regulatory texts. Overall, the law is considered effective, with a reminder that the government and professional bodies are urged to resume their work to ensure the proper functioning of justice. The exemption clauses are still tied to a subsequent regulatory phase.
