Items such as "Determining the legal nature of the Bar Association", "Comprehensive government oversight of the Bar Association and the legal profession", "Regulation in the field of advocacy", "Reporting the Bar Association's obligation to nine government governments", "Reviewing the Bar Association's request and supervision On the approvals of the pillars and management components of the association "," Obligation to apply transparency in the performance of bar associations "," Determining the conditions of representation and admission "," Intervention of lawyers' training "," Intervention in the names in the list of lawyers "," Establishment of lawyers 'disciplinary courts and investigation of their violations "," Regulation of public oversight of Uber Bar Associations "," Regulation of government oversight mechanism in Bar Associations "," Supervision of lawyers' training "," Determining the amount and "How to obtain attorneys' fees", "Suspension and revocation of attorney's license", "Prohibition of attorney by qualified persons", "Control over employees and attorneys" and finally "Regulation of the mechanism of attorneys and non-attorneys" are examples of government intervention in England The establishment of bar associations in this country is considered.
