Office of Lawyer Regulation

The Office of Lawyer Regulation (OLR) oversees the conduct of lawyers within a jurisdiction, ensuring they adhere to professional standards and ethical rules. It investigates complaints about lawyers' behavior, such as misconduct or dishonesty, and can take disciplinary actions if necessary. The goal is to protect clients, maintain public trust in the legal system, and promote ethical practice among attorneys. The OLR operates independently but within the framework of laws and regulations governing legal professionals.
