Election of Chairman and Members of Presidium of Bar Association
Baku / 07.12.17 / Turan: On December 7, the Bar Association conference will be held, within which the election of the chairman of this non-governmental organization, as well as re-election of members of the Presidium, is expected, member of the Bar, Akram Hasanov, told Turan.
"The meeting will last several hours and will be held with the participation of representatives of 116 law offices. There are big expectations from the new leadership, since from the New Year only members of the Bar Association will be able to represent the interests of citizens in the courts. In this regard, the number of members of the Bar is expected to increase from next year. The new leadership should provide work in this direction," Hasanov said.
The real candidate for the chairmanship of the Presidium of the Bar Association is Anar Bagirov, Hasanov said, noting that most lawyers decided on the choice of the new leadership. In addition to electing the head and composition of the Presidium, a number of other issues will be discussed at the conference.
Recall that the Bar is recommended to increase the number of lawyers in accordance with the order of the President of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev dated November 7, 2017 on the application of the law "On Amendments to the Civil Procedure Code of the Republic of Azerbaijan." At the same time, amendments to the law "On lawyers and advocacy" were approved. The amendments provide for the replacement of the representative institute with a professional law institute.
The amendments came into force on December 1 of the current year. In the opinion of independent lawyers, the liquidation of the institution of representation will lead to the monopoly of the Bar Association, violation of the rights of citizens and increased pressure on lawyers conducting so-called political affairs. An unsuitable lawyer can be excluded from the Bar at any time. And if, before the adoption of the bill, persons excluded from this association could engage in legal activities as representatives, the liquidation of this institution will deprive them of this opportunity.
Only members of the only Bar can represent citizens in court. Those for the whole country with a population of 10 million people total 905 people. The official reason for the changes in the laws is improving the quality of services provided, eliminating non-professionals from this environment. "These changes and additions are a continuation of progressive judicial and legal reforms in our country. These changes will have a positive impact on improving the quality of legal services provided to the population in our country," the Bar itself said.
The statement noted that the Bar will be expanded and in the near future will pass exams for membership in it. However, according to available data, the majority of members of the qualification commission (6 out of 11) are appointed by government employees, and this indicates the dependent position of the structure that accepts members of the Bar. In the independent admissions committee there should not be representatives of state bodies. -0-
