They also support the suggestion to allow Syariah lawyers with degrees from recognized universities to practice in Syariah Courts across Malaysia, aiming to improve the efficiency of the Syariah justice system.
KUALA LUMPUR: The Malaysian Bar has recommended that all states consider adopting the Syarie Legal Profession Act 2019 to standardise the regulation of conduct, ethics, and procedures for Syariah law practitioners.
Mohamad Ezri said the body also welcomed Senator Datuk Salehuddin Saidin's suggestion, raised during Dewan Negara sitting on Dec 19 last year, to allow Syariah lawyers with degrees from recognised universities to practise in Syariah Courts across Malaysia. "The Malaysian Bar Syariah Court Liaison Committee has initiated civil-syariah lawyer dialogues in nearly all states in Peninsular Malaysia and found that there are various challenges related to the process of admission as practitioners in the Syariah Courts," he said, citing the differences in eligibility requirements and procedures as among the issues.
