Specialist committees and working groups made up of experts appointed by the national delegations discuss and develop policy papers on a wide range of areas affecting the European legal profession.
Deontology Committee
This committee focuses on the ethical rules of lawyers across Europe. This includes the self-regulation of the profession, its core principles and the regulation of lawyers’ conduct and ethical obligations in Europe. To this end, the committee monitors the developments around and practical application of ethical rules for lawyers across Europe. It also keeps under review the CCBE Code of Conduct for cross-border activities of lawyers, the Charter of Core Principles of the European legal profession and the CCBE Model Code of Conduct.
