Abstract

The legal profession is considered a valuable profession, and one of the mainstays of justice, the rule of law, the realization of the right and the protection of citizens' rights. It is a heavy duty and one of the professions that not anyone can master. It is a conflict between right and wrong, good and evil. Therefore, the profession of the lawyer is one of the hard professions, which is the search and investigation of evidence and collecting and submitting them to the competent court to be weighed and then the court issues its decision.

In order for the lawyer to be free in the exercise of his profession, States must grant the lawyer, through legal texts, immunity inside and outside the sessions associated with his profession, in order to achieve justice.

This study is devoted to the subject of procedural immunity of the lawyer, through the explanation of its legal provisions and their adequacy in Jordanian law using the comparative approach by comparing it with some Arabic laws.
