Abstract

Objective: This study aims to clarify the civil liability of the Palestinian lawyer under the applicable legislation by analyzing the legal framework governing the legal profession and defining the limits of the duty of care owed to clients, with a focus on forms of professional fault and the possibility of holding the lawyer liable for compensation. Methodology: The study adopts a descriptive–analytical approach based on examining relevant legal and judicial texts, supported by comparative doctrinal opinions, thereby reflecting the relationship between theory and practice. Main Findings: The study revealed that the rules of civil liability are not effectively enforced in the field of legal practice, and that the existing judicial and disciplinary mechanisms suffer from shortcomings in holding lawyers accountable for their professional errors. Conclusions and Recommendations: The study concludes that weak enforcement of liability negatively affects clients’ rights, the stability of the profession, and public trust. It recommends launching a national professional dialogue that contributes to formulating a modern legislative vision that ensures stability and keeps pace with legal developments.
