In Morocco, lawyers resume activities after four months of strike

The Moroccan Bar Association (ABAM) decided on September 20 to suspend its nationwide strike, which had lasted nearly four months, against the professional reform adopted in August. Court activities resumed on October 7 to allow the new government time and address backlog cases. However, the dispute remains, with lawyers arguing that the reform threatens their independence and criticizing the legislative process behind law no. 66.23.
