CLThe Chilean Bar Association has criticized a decision by the Constitutional Court (TC) to initiate a process examining the potential invalidation of a requirement for good conduct to obtain the title of lawyer. The association argues that this requirement, evaluated by the Supreme Court, is necessary to ensure the suitability of individuals entering the legal profession. They claim that removing this condition would undermine trust in the profession, which exists solely to protect others' rights. The Bar Association emphasizes that becoming a lawyer is not merely a formal academic recognition but a state-granted qualification involving significant responsibilities in justice administration. They argue that if the Supreme Court cannot assess applicants' backgrounds, its role would become purely bureaucratic. However, they acknowledge the need for rational and proportional exercise of power by the Supreme Court.
