ADVOCATES IN ITALY, FRANCE AND GERMANY

Abstract

Mr Giovanni Tamburini PhD from Italy, is external, foreign expert, who expressed his wish to cooperate with our Institute – the Institute of Comparative Law from Belgrade. For the first time he answers on some questions that we have made about the advocates and their bar associations in Italy, France, Germany. First of all, we asked him: how bar associations are organized? On the national level, is there one organization, or there are organizations on the level of provinces? Is it possible to organize two or three bar associations on the level of the whole country ? The second question was: is it possible for foreign advocates to work in Italy (France, Germany). Especially to be engaged to work in front of courts. The third question was: Do advocates in Italy work in small, individual offices, or they are organized in big enterprises like in the USA? How many of them (approximately in percentage) work in small offices, and how many of them in big offices, and what usually they do? Is it forbidden for advocates to make advertisement in media, or it is free, or they have to get some special permission by their chamber if they want to appear in media, especially on television?
