The aforementioned supervision guarantees the rights of citizens (clients), public and social public interests, and on the other hand, the efficiency of Bar associations in the position of defending the rights of its members and especially as a civil institution and in the position of realizing democratic supervision over the government. However, the basic question in this article is: how reliable is the existing legal process in the area of responsibility and disciplinary infraction of lawyers, and on the other hand, what possible problems does it have?
