The first code of professional ethics for
Vietnamese lawyers was announced by the Vietnam Bar Federation in Hanoi on Aug.
11.
"The code will play a significant role in
showing domestic lawyers how to behave professionally as well as orient their
obligations and responsibilities to the people and society," federation
vice chairman Do Ngoc Thinh said.
The code, with six chapters and 27 rules, came
out nearly two years after the federation was established, Thinh said.
It is expected to be supplemented in order to
perfect the development of a career as a lawyer.
Through the code, it would be easy to supervise
the behaviour of lawyers, he said. The code combined traditional ethics,
national culture and international common practices.
The federation planned to set up classes to
explain the code, the federation's Lawyer Cultivation Centre deputy director
Dao Ngoc Chuyen said.
Each class would have 70 lawyers. The first
would be held in HCM City between September 15-20 and in Hanoi between
September 25 and 30, Chuyen said, adding that class participants would receive
certificates.
It is estimated that Vietnam now has over
6,000 lawyers.
Federation vice chairman Nguyen Van Thao said
a compilation of the regulations to deal with violations by lawyers was in
progress.
The highest punishment now was removal from
the federation's lawyer list, Thao said.
The federation planned to organise a
conference in Can Tho city to review and discuss the management and discipline
of lawyers in Vietnam.
