About this service
A dispute with the Ethics Commission of the Georgian Bar Association is the central track of the profession's disciplinary system: this body checks incoming information about an advocate, studies its validity and decides the question of disciplinary liability. This page describes the commission's composition, restrictions on membership, grounds for termination of powers and the full route of appeal — deadlines, parties and the form of the process. In practice these details decide outcomes: the lawfulness of the commission's composition, the admissibility of the source of information and the observance of the appeal deadline are often more important than the substantive side.
