To strengthen and promote legal services in the private sector through a regulated Bar Association, Bhutan now has a Bar Council or Jabmi Tshogdey.

The President of the council, Her Royal Highness Princess Sonam Dechan Wangchuck graced the inaugural ceremony in the capital, today.

The Bar Council of Bhutan is being constituted for the first time as per the Jabmi Amendment Act 2016. The council will encourage and promote integrity, efficiency and responsibility of the private practicing lawyers.

The bar council has six members consisting of  former supreme court and high court justices, attorney general, and private practicing lawyers.

“The Bar Council will not only help the lawyers, but will also make the private practice efficient. The ultimate beneficiaries are the people who seek the services from our Bar Council,” said a member, Jamyang Sherab.

“It is a good opportunity for us to have a Bar Council so that we can seek any clarifications in case we come across with legal confusions. Earlier, we couldn’t go forward even we have some problems as here was no such place to approach,” added Ngawang Choden from Taktsang Law Firm

The Bar Council will also determine cases of misconduct against private practicing lawyers and would promote legal education, conduct selection examination and to maintain a role of private practicing lawyers.
