ABSTRACT
It is a daunting task to speak of the legal profession in the midst of a profound debate on the role of parliament, the executive and the judiciary. Lawyers are protean characters. They flit in and out of all segments of government almost effortlessly as if they were Plato’s ideal of schooled-leaders. But it is not the lawyer as an individual that we are concerned with, but rather the proper role of their Bar Association in the overall development of constitutionalism and the rule of law in society.
