Alert Against Illegal Practice Of The Law

The Law Society of Botswana has noticed an upsurge in illegal practice of the Law.

This illegality takes place mainly in two (2) forms: firstly persons who are not admitted and enrolled as attorneys have set up offices where they provide legal services under the guise of “consultants” and secondly such persons and indeed others who are qualified to practice take out adverts in the media inviting members of the public to engage them to provide legal services.

The public is hereby informed that provision of legal services for a fee without a practicing certificate contravenes provisions of the Legal Practitioners Act (LPA) and is an offence for which a perpetrator may be charged and prosecuted. The said perpetrators may also be charged under the Penal Code with, amongst others, the offence of “Obtaining by False Pretenses”. The Society is immediately going on a robust cleaning up exercise to weed out the culprits.
