Syarie Lawyers’ Ethical Violations: A Study in State of Selangor

Abstract

This article focuses on violation of ethics by syarie lawyers in Selangor from the perspective of the Shariah courts procedure that have been adopted in the Shariah Courts in Malaysia. Besides that, this article wanted to identify the fairness and efficiency in recognising violation of ethics cases without compromising the principles of Islamic jurisprudence and justice during case judgment. Certain laws and procedures related to proceedings in handling violation of ethics cases were being focused upon such as Administration of The Religion of Islam (State of Selangor) Enactment 2003 and Rules of Syarie Lawyer (Negeri Selangor) 2008 to represent all other states in Malaysia. These provisions include basic requirement for an individual to be appointed as a syarie lawyer and provide rules that would regulate their ethics and behaviours.
