Right side of law

The evolution of the rule of law is a gradual process. This is not only because too drastic changes in the legal system may cause chaos and not necessarily have the desired effect, but also because a process is needed for the people to accept the changes.

The amendments to the Law on Lawyers taking effect on Sunday best demonstrate the steady but gradual progress in the country's legal system.

One of the most noteworthy changes is the specification that a lawyer, with his license, certificate from his or her law firm and the document verifying his or her capacity as an attorney for a client in custody, has the right to meet his or her client. Moreover, the amendment specifies that the talk between them must never be monitored.
