Day 17: Bar Council & Lawyers

Defend the poor and fatherless; do justice to the afflicted and needy. Deliver the poor and needy; save them out of the hand of the wicked. (Psalm 82:3-4)
The Malaysian Bar, which is the body of all Malaysian lawyers, occupies a special place in the nation. The Bar can be looked to and counted on to state the legal position clearly in matters of particular public interest and concern. The Bar Council issues regular press statements that clarify in the media the legal provisions, in such matters. In that sense, it provides a check and balance as to whether justice for all as enshrined in the Federal Constitution is adhered to. Whilst the Bar Council also seeks to uphold the integrity of it’s over 12,000 members, the task is overwhelming. The lawyers must therefore on their own accord practice their profession with integrity in every aspect from how they handle their client’s matters to how much they charge etc, with the fear of God and a passion for justice

Prayer Points:

  • Bar Council to be a voice to speak on justice, truth and righteousness
  • Lawyers to conduct their practice with professionalism, passion and integrity
  • Christian lawyers to uphold Biblical standard in their practice of law.
