Lawyers are supposed to uphold the law. however, from what i have read on various blogs and comments, many of the posters seem to think that rules and regulations do not apply to them. Yours is the third post I have read recently touting the same line.
1. Prior sanction of the bar council should be taken before a lawyer is prosecuted.
2. Suspension of a lawyer for running a business is unwarranted.
If you want to be above the law, stop practicing law and join politics.
