Legal Experts in Parliament Discuss Profession Crisis
The recent legislative elections in Morocco resulted in the election of 18 lawyers, both male and female, to the House of Representatives. This reflects the presence of members of the legal profession within the legislative institution. These deputies are entrusted with the responsibility of defending professional issues, especially amid the ongoing controversy surrounding Draft Law No. 66.23 regulating the legal profession, which faced protests and service disruptions by professional bodies before being referred to the Constitutional Court. The role of these deputies serves as a test of their ability to coordinate efforts and make progress on issues such as the independence of the profession, self-regulation, admission conditions, and training, as well as influencing legal policies, despite their limited direct powers over the Ministry of Justice. Will these parliamentary lawyers be able to transform the black robe into an influential legislative voice that defends the professionalism and integrity of Morocco’s justice system?
