It outlines the main aspects, the regulation of which is contained in the Digests — the grounds and measures of disciplinary responsibility of lawyers, misdemeanors for which lawyers were subject to responsibility, grounds for appointing lawyers at the initiative of the court, issues of fee practice — and the norms regulating these aspects. All these issues are discussed in details in the context of the relationship between the advocacy and administrative justice system of the Roman Empire that had a signifi cant importance, since the bar, without having an independent corporate organization, was subordinate to the offi cials, governed administrative-territorial units Empires of various levels.
