The
Fribourg Lawyers' Association
| The
Fribourg Lawyers' Association (Ordre des avocats fribourgeois) is
an association subject to private law in terms of art. 60 and subsequent
articles of the Swiss Civil Code (Code civil Suisse). It regroups
to date quasi-all lawyers/attorneys whose main practice is in the
Canton of Fribourg. It sees to the independence of the Bar, the respect of the rules of deontology and to the administration of sound justice. This Association thus sees to the respect of the high principles guiding the practice of law (discharge of mandate with care and diligence, principle of independence, respect of the attorney-client confidentiality, loyal contribution to the implementation of justice and respect of the dignity of the Bar), which are all in the client's best interest. For more information, please consult the Statutes of the Order as well as the Ways and Customs. The main bodies of the Ordre are the General Assembly, which regroups all member lawyers, as well as the board of Directors (Conseil de l'Ordre) which is the executive body. The Conseil de l'Ordre has, in particular, important disciplinary powers (see Statutes). Thus,
having recourse to a lawyer member of the Ordre des avocats fribourgeois
represents an increased reliability for the client due to the double
surveillance to which this lawyer is submitted in the discharge
of his profession, that of the Association of which he is a member,
and to that of the competent state agencies. |
