Questione giuridica chiave
Whether transitional Art. 36 LLCA entitled holders of old cantonal lawyer patents to registration without a fresh formal application and supporting documents.
Decisione estratta
No. Transitional protection under Art. 36 LLCA concerns mainly training requirements and does not dispense with a formal request or with proof of the other statutory conditions.
Motivazione estratta
The court held that Art. 36 LLCA aims to prevent lawyers whose training would not meet the new federal standards from practicing nationwide, but it does not eliminate the need to apply for registration or to submit the documents required by Arts. 5, 7 and 8 LLCA.
