KUWAIT CITY, May 25: The Kuwait Bar Association disbarred 26 lawyers for failing to meet one of the registration and continuity requirements stipulated in the law regulating the legal profession. At the same time, the association ordered the suspension of the files of three law firms, as it was proven that they were managed by individuals unauthorized to practice the profession. It also referred several complaints to the Disciplinary Department for proven serious professional violations.
The association previously disbarred several lawyers who violated the terms and conditions of practicing the profession and harmed it by repeatedly causing problems or having final judgments issued against them. Attorney Khaled Al-Suwaifan, a member of the association’s Board of Directors and the Admissions Committee, told the newspaper that the association constantly reviews the files of its members to ensure their compliance with the admission and registration requirements to preserve the prestige of the profession and uphold its mission.
