De Ordine Advocatorum Emendatio Constituti

Passed by the Senate and signed by the President on 18 August 2025.

Approved by the Bar Association on 23 August 2025.

Preamble

Whereas the SimDemocracy Bar Association is a fundamental body for the upholding of Justice itself in SimDemocracy and a vital organ for the safeguarding of Law in the best interests of our community,

Whereas the members of the SimDemocracy Bar Association and their restless efforts, as well as admirable commitment represent one of the main reasons why we can enjoy a judicial system that ensures us fairness and a real Justice,

Whereas the members of the SimDemocracy Bar Association should be able to freely determine the organization under which they gathered themselves in order to face the needs they encounter while they continue to pursue these fundamental duties,

Whereas the current dispositions of the Bar Association Constitutions discipline an almost null decisional action of the members of the Bar Association in the regarding of their own institution,

Therefore there is the need to establish a system that consents the members of the Bar Association to determine their own organization freely in the respect of the Senate’s legislative authority,


I, Senator Nf19_1, hereby present this Amendment to the Bar Association Constitution before the People, the Senate and the Bar Association of SimDemocracy, in order to grant to our esteemed lawyers, Judges and Justices the right to organize their own body.
