The Bar Association of Maldives has expressed concern with the Attorney General’s (AG) office indefinitely suspending issuance of licenses to practice law in December last year.
In a press statement today, the Bar Association noted that a number of newly graduated lawyers have since been awaiting licenses from the AG office.
The new graduates were “facing financial and professional losses” as a result of the delay, the Bar Association stated.
The AG office announced on December 17 that it was ceasing the issuance of licenses pending amendments to regulations governing the legal profession.
