LAWYERS IN POLAND
Private Work To Cease (N.Z.P. A.-Reuter—Copyright) WARSAW, January 12. Hie private practice of law in Poland will en don February 1. That is the effective date of newly-announced Justice Ministry regulations requiring practising lawyers to belong to collectives of five to 20 members. The regulations forbid private collections of legal fees, which henceforth must be paid into financial offices of lawyers’ collectives. A client may still choose his own lawyer. Members of each collective are to be guaranteed at least 2000 zlotys (about £3B) monthly, plus additional shares of the collections in proportion to work. This could represent a sizeable cut from the earnings of some noted lawyers in ’ private law practice, which had remained one of Poland’s important vestiges of free enterprise. Some of the nation’s 5700 barristers are expected to quit the profession or sign up as salaried legal advisers! to Government institutions.
