Malaysian Bar Council
The Malaysian Bar Council is the statutory body that governs lawyers in Peninsular Malaysia.
It does three things that matter to people going through divorce:
- runs the Legal Aid Centre
- publishes a directory of lawyers
- sets the rules of professional conduct for lawyers (advocates and solicitors)
Why it matters: you can use the directory to check that a lawyer is registered, and the Legal Aid Centre if you cannot afford a lawyer.
