Tunisian Bar Sets Media Guidelines
The Regional Bar Association in Tunisia emphasized a set of guidelines regulating lawyers' appearances in the media and the use of social media platforms, due to misconduct by some lawyers. The statement clarified that participation in media programs should be occasional, with prior written notification to the Dean, and must adhere to the confidentiality of professional secrets, avoiding discussion of published cases, and refraining from disrespecting colleagues or authorities. It also stressed the importance of maintaining objectivity and not speaking on behalf of the profession on issues outside their scope. Additionally, it warned against using social media for advertising or damaging colleagues' reputation or private information. Violations of these regulations may be referred to the disciplinary council.
