Summary/Abstract: This paper aims to examine the lawyer’s role given by the legislature following the entry into force of the new Romanian Civil and Criminal codes, the impact they bring to rights and obligations, and to what extent its attributes are taken into account by the new legislation. The adoption of general laws is a unique moment in the legislative framework and a challenge for practitioners. Therefore, this paper aims to firstly analyse the concept of a lawyer, then the rights and role in criminal and civil law cases, and the extent of liability regarding the lawyer, concluding with lex ferenda proposals.
