The legal sector is governed under the Legal Profession Act (CAP.132 of Laws of Brunei). Section 4 of the Act provides the Chief Justice with the authority to admit a qualified individual as an advocate and solicitor. An application by a qualified person for admission is made by letter addressed to the Chief Justice at the office of the Chief Registrar. The Chief Registrar issues the license and maintains the advocate and solicitor's name on the roll. Law firms do not need to obtain a separate license to practice. The Law empowers the Law Society of Brunei to make rules in relation to the regulation of practice and disciplinary rules.
