About the law and the debate

Official summary of the law (Knesset)

The Law reduces the restriction on serving on the ethics committees of the Israel Bar Association, so that instead of two consecutive terms of office, it will be possible to serve on them for up to three consecutive terms of office. The ethics committee is a statutory committee responsible, among other things, for discussing complaints against lawyers, providing preliminary opinions, prosecuting lawyers in disciplinary matters, and suspending lawyers in cases where an indictment has been filed for a criminal offense involving moral turpitude.

Hebrew original

החוק מצמצם את ההגבלה על הכהונה בוועדות האתיקה של לשכת עורכי הדין, כך שבמקום שתי תקופות כהונה רצופות יהיה ניתן לכהן בהן עד שלוש תקופות כהונה רצופות. ועדת האתיקה היא ועדה סטטוטורית, האמונה בין היתר על דיון בתלונות נגד עורכי דין, על מתן חוות דעת מקדימות ועל העמדה לדין בענייני משמעת של עורכי דין, ועל השעיית עורכי דין במקרים בהם הוגש כתב אישום בשל עבירה פלילית שיש עמה קלון.
