    OF LAWYERS POSTPONED UNTIL APRIL 11

    YEREVAN, APRIL 1, NOYAN TAPAN. On March 31, the court of first
    instance of Kentron and Nork-Marash communities of Yerevan (chaired by
    Judge Ruben Nersisian) started examining the claims that were
    submitted by a a number of lawyers and contest the results of the
    elections of the RA Chamber of lawyers. 5 of 6 the claims filed have

    taken by chairman of the Chamber, the claims of lawyers Liparit
    Simonian, Hayk Alumian and Sos Grigorian - all the decisions made by
    the constituent assembly. At the sitting, lawyer Ruben Sahakian, a
    candidate for chairman of the Chamber of lawyers, submitted an
    application requesting to change the grounds and subject of the
    claim. The lawyer asked that all the decisions made the constituent
    assembly of the Chamber be declared invalid, incliding the results of
    the Chamber Chairman elections, since these decisions were made in
    gross violation of the RA Civil Code and the RA Law on Advocacy. The
    claimant also asked the court to oblige th RA Union of Lawyers and the
    International Union of Lawyers to hold the general meetings on the
    issues of approving the merger and transfer acts within 15 days, as
    well as to oblige them to approve, prior to holding the constituent
    assembly of the RA Chamber of Lawyers, the procedure for holding the
    Chamber's constituent assembly, the draft regulations of the Chamber
    and the draft regulations of the lawyer behavior at the joint sitting
    of the councils and submit these documents to the Chamber constituent
    assembly for approval. The lawyer also asked the court to oblige the
    eldest lawyer to hold the Chamber's constituent assembly within 15
    days of the decisions of the Union's general meetings on the approval
    of the transfer and merger acts, as well as to put on the agenda the
    issues of approving the procedure for holding the assembly, the
    Chamber regulations and the lawyer behavior regulations and the issue
    of electi! ons of al l the bodies of the Chamber. The court postponed
    the examination until April 11 in order to ensure the presence of 12
    lawyers on the side of the defandant. The claimant requests that
    licences for parctising advocacy given to them by the RA Chamber of
    Lawyers be invalidated, since persons who have no certificates of the
    Highest Qualification Commission can neither be considered lawyers nor
    vote at the general meeting of the Chamber.
