The Uganda Law Society has organized a workshop with the Justice Law and Order Sector to train lawyers on proper ethical behavior in their profession.
This comes at a time when the ethical standards in the law profession are at questionable levels with more Ugandans loosing trust in lawyers by the day. Many people in Uganda believe lawyers are more mindful and interested in money than helping their clients get justice in the courts of law.
The Executive Committee of the Uganda Law Society says that the workshop will take place in Imperial Royale Hotel on the 20th July 2010 under the theme “Ethics and the advocate”
The committee says the workshop will focus on sensitizing lawyers and etiquette and the role of the Law Council in regulating professional discipline.
It say the senior law academicians, the Law Council and Uganda Law Society representatives with vast experience will facilitate the workshop and those interested in participating in the workshop will have to pay 100,000/= (one hundred thousand shillings).
The Uganda Law Society is the organization that brings together all lawyers in the country under one umbrella.
