WHO are we?

 

We are public sector lawyers attached to various departments and administrations in the respective spheres of government in the Province of KwaZulu-Natal.

 

Recognising the need for a separate, visible and sustainable structure on the basis of voluntary association -

(a) to organise and empower public sector lawyers; and

(b) to support public sector lawyers in the co-ordination of the provision of professional, non-partisan legal services and legal advice in the public sector,

within KwaZulu-Natal, we formed the Association as the representative body of the organised legal profession in the public sector in KwaZulu-Natal in accordance with the provisions of our Constitution.

 

We have attempted to set high standards for our members for the provision of legal support services in the public sector in accordance with a strict and laudable Code of Ethics (appearing directly after the Constitution as Schedule 1). The Code of Ethics is justiciable for purposes of disciplinary action against members of the Association.

 

KAPSL on 6 June 2008 had 39 founder members.
