Lawyer Regulation

Lawyer regulation refers to the oversight and governance of attorneys to ensure they adhere to ethical standards, competence, and professional conduct. Regulatory bodies, such as state bar associations or courts, establish rules that lawyers must follow, including maintaining client confidentiality, avoiding conflicts of interest, and providing diligent representation. If a lawyer misconducts or breaches these standards, the regulatory authority can investigate, discipline, or disbar them. The goal is to protect the public, uphold the integrity of the legal profession, and ensure fair and competent legal services.
