Law Society Names Lawyers With No Practising Certificates
The Law Society of Zimbabwe (LSZ) has warned members of the public against engaging 23 listed lawyers who have no practising certificates for various reasons.
Of the 23 lawyers listed, 16 of them are from Harare.
The LSZ said the lawyers are not allowed to carry out any legal work without prior written confirmation from the society.
This means the lawyers cannot appear before any court, prison, police station, or lodge any documents before the Deeds Registry.
In a recent interview with State media, LSZ secretary Edward Mapara revealed that registration to get a PC is $21 000 for 12 months. He said:
