الملخص الإنجليزي
The disciplinary liability of a lawyer is one of the most important topics that
many legislations are keen to regulate. This significance was formed from its
impact on the legal profession as one of the justice pillars that practiced by
individuals who enjoy complete freedom and independence to practice their
profession. However, this freedom is a double-edged sword, as the practitioner
may violate the ethics of the profession by neglecting his duties and degrading
the honor of the lawyer. As a result, there was a need to maintain a balance
between enabling the lawyer to perform the duties of the defense on the one
hand, and preserving the requirements of the profession on the other hand.
This can be achieved by establishing a comprehensive disciplinary system to
determine lawyer practices without violating the ethics and traditions of the
profession, in addition to disciplinary accountability in the event that the lawyer
commits a violation.
Therefore, this study analyzes the provisions of the Omani legislation
related to the disciplinary responsibility of the lawyer compared to the Egyptian
legislation. The study follows the comparative and analysis methodology to
highlight the similarities and differences between the two legislations. The
study reveals the absence of the Omani legislation to organize important issues
in the disciplinary accountability of the lawyer, whether those related to the
elements of discipline or the procedures and guarantees. Moreover, the study
generates a set of recommendations to amend the Omani legislation regarding
the disciplinary liability.
The study was divided into two chapters:
First chapter explores the elements of the Lawyer's Disciplinary Responsibility.
The second chapter examines the disciplinary accountability procedures for
lawyers and their guarantees.
