Bar Association Says Foreign Lawyers are Working Illegally

Cambodia news in English! Here you'll find all the breaking news from Cambodia translated into English for our international readership and expat community to read and comment on. The majority of our news stories are gathered from the local Khmer newspapers, but we also bring you newsworthy media from Cambodia before you read them anywhere else. Because of the huge population of the capital city, most articles are from Phnom Penh, but Siem Reap, Sihanoukville, and Kampot often make the headlines as well. We report on all arrests and deaths of foreigners in Cambodia, and the details often come from the Cambodian police or local Khmer journalists. As an ASEAN news outlet, we also publish regional news and events from our neighboring countries. We also share local Khmer news stories that you won't find in English anywhere else. If you're looking for a certain article, you may use our site's search feature to find it quickly.

WOW !!! what a surprise, but honestly Western prosecutors could hire them to act as a lawyer for the people they accuse groundlessly in order to make sure that they receive a guaranteed 100 years in jail. A real gap in the market.

He's got some balls to even say that. No point and even having a lawyer to rep you.

Reminds me of a Lawyer I Know....

I have no idea about Judicial System in Cambodia. What i do know is that if you have money you will win. Lol.
បើសិនធ្វើចេះ ចេះឲ្យគេកោត បើសិនធ្វើឆោត ឆោតឲ្យគេអាណិត។

If you know a lot, know enough to make them respect you, if you are stupid, be stupid enough so they can pity you.

I vaguely remember being told by some fool that 'everyone should follow the law' when teachers were complaining about the back-payments. Their reasoning that the back-payments were obviously part of a scam was met with derision and they were told to pay up, even though those laughing at them knew that the practise was a scam.

So, we have a law (work-permits) backing up a scam (back-payments going into private pockets).

And we have a law (about licensing) backed up by a scam (the 'ahem' exam interview)

Can any person explain the difference to the teacher's situation and the lawyers' situation?

I think it's almost identical, bar the price (yes, a pun).

Don't get me wrong, I despise the corruption in both

I have also heard from an extremely high-ranking official (whose name I cannot reveal, because then I'd be bragging ;) ), that foreign accountants may be next...
Jesus loves you...Mexico is great, right? ;)
