Rule 23. Publicity outside Malaysia. PDF Print E-mail

(1) An Advocate and Solicitor may publicize his practice or the practice of his firm in any country outside Malaysia but the publicity shall not-

    (a) be conducted in a manner that is contrary to the laws of that country;

    (b) be conducted in a manner that will be likely to diminish the confidence of the public in that country as regards the legal profession of Malaysia, or to otherwise bring the legal profession of Malaysia into disrepute;

    (c) be published in any newspaper, journal or other publication in circulation in that country, where such newspaper, journal or other publication is also widely circulated in Malaysia; or

    (d) be published in any edition of any newspaper, journal or other publication originating from that country, where such edition is published specifically for circulation to the public in Malaysia.

(2) For the purposes of paragraph (1)(c), in determining whether any newspaper, journal or other publication in circulation in a country outside Malaysia is also widely circulated in Malaysia, the factors to be considered by the Bar Council may include-

    (a) the availability of the newspaper, journal or other publication in bookshops and newspaper stands in Malaysia;

    (b) the method by which the newspaper, journal or other publication is circulated in Malaysia;

    (c) the number of copies of the newspaper, journal or other publication circulated in Malaysia; and

    (d) the level of marketing involved in the circulation of the newspaper, journal or other publication in Malaysia.
