This is a follow up to my previous post of yesterday - Disbarred Lawyer.
Someone on Tuggbs posted the following:
Code of Professional Conduct - BC Law Society
Section 6.1-4 (Suspended or disbarred lawyers)
Without the express approval of the lawyer’s governing body, a lawyer
must not retain, occupy office space with, use the services of, partner
or associate with or employ in any capacity having to do with the
practice of law any person who, in any jurisdiction,
(a) has been disbarred and struck off the Rolls,
(b) is suspended,
(c) has undertaken not to practise,
(d) has been involved in disciplinary action and been permitted to resign and has not been reinstated or readmitted,
(e) has failed to complete a Bar admission program for reasons
relating to lack of good character and repute or fitness to be a member
of the Bar,
(f) has been the subject of a hearing ordered, whether commenced or
not, with respect to an application for enrolment as an articled
student, call and admission, or reinstatement, unless the person was
subsequently enrolled, called and admitted or reinstated in the same
jurisdiction, or
(g) was required to withdraw or was expelled from a Bar admission program.
amended Apr 2013
"The rules in this Code should guide the conduct of lawyers, not only in the practice of law, but also in other activities."
