Tanzanian lawyers can now advertise their services, after a review of their rules — a move likely to increase competition in the country’s legal sector.
The bar association of Tanzania Mainland has allowed lawyers to advertise while at the same time regulating the manner and media through which they do it.The Tanganyika Law Society Advocates (Professional Conduct and Etiquette) Rules, made under the Advocates Act, will also be used to regulate the conduct of advocates who have been operating largely unregulated.
“An advocate may advertise legal services to the general public, subject to the regulations and rules of the Society on such matters,” says rule 128.
Tanganyika Law Society president Charles Rwechungura said that the absence of restrictive rules had enhanced unethical conduct among some lawyers.He said the new rules will regulate the nature of advertising. Rules 129 and 130 define the parameters in which an advocate can advertise their services.Kenyan lawyers earlier this year passed the Law Society of Kenya Marketing and Advertising Regulations 2014 allowing them to advertise their services in the print media.
