Asking the lawyer and questioning his defense style
Article Thirteen of the Bar Association Law stipulates the following:
“Taking into account what is stated in Article Twelve, the lawyer may take the path he deems successful in defending his client. He may not be held accountable for what he states in his pleadings, whether written or oral, that necessitates the right to defense.”
Explanation and clarification of the material
This article grants immunity to lawyers related to their professional work, specifically what they present in their pleadings and memoranda in defense of their client. This can be detailed in the following points:
Freedom of defence
The lawyer has the discretion to choose the method and approach he deems most effective and successful for defending his client’s rights. This gives him flexibility in building his defense strategy.
Immunity from accountability
The basic principle is that a lawyer is not held legally or judicially accountable for the arguments or defenses he puts forward for the defense, whether they are written in memoranda or presented orally at hearings. This immunity is necessary to ensure that a lawyer is able to perform his duty without fear or hesitation.

Immunity restriction
This immunity is not absolute, but is limited to being “required by the right to defence”. This means that statements or writings must be related to the subject of the dispute and necessary to clarify the client’s point of view or refute the opponent’s claims. If the lawyer goes beyond that to insult, slander, or personal abuse that has nothing to do with the defense, then he falls outside the scope of this immunity and may be subject to accountability.
