Abstract
There is a definition of disciplinary liability in the introduction of the paper that points to significance of lawyer’s profession. The central part of the paper, apart from relevant statistic data listing, gives a survey of legislative arrangements of lawyer’s disciplinary liability in Croatia as well as the standpoints of legal theory on particular institutes. The conclusion has been drawn that norm-makers and in particular the Croatian Bar Association, have stipulated the rules of conduct for lawyers as well as those related to instituting and conducting disciplinary proceedings in detail. It is worth pointing out that independence and professionalism of a disciplinary public prosecutor’s office and a disciplinary court is guaranteed; there is an appropriate number of disciplinary measures and adequate judicial protection against valid decisions in disciplinary proceedings.
