Litigation Will Have Positive Effect
from page 1-B
law against state agencies, who
can?"' he asked.
Bowers said he is conten
ding that the Bar Association
has no authority to take any
disciplinary action against him
or to dishar him because it
doesn't have any power to tell
the office of attorney general
what to do. *'l don't know how
it's going to come out,” he
continued.
If a final ruling says the Bar
does have authority over him,
the people of Georgia ‘‘better
find someone quickly” to en
force the law against state
agencies, Bowers said.
There are 45 different
associations of professionals in
Georgia that are regulated by
the state and who are funded
and promulgated by the
General Assembly, Bowers
said. **But that ain’t true of one
occupation — lawyers."
“PRIVILEGED”
Lawyers make their own
rules and regulate themselves,
he pointed out. They ‘‘appear
to ge privileged characters,"
Bowers said, because of that
self-regulation and lack of state
participation in the process.
For example, if a complaint
is filed against a real estate
broker, al% it takes to remove
the real estate licenses is
minimal evidence. The agent
doesn’t have the right to a trial
by jury or re-tria% discovery,
including cfiapositions, the at
torney general said.
But %efore final civil action
may be taken against a lawyer,
he is entitled to have a jury
trial, pre-trial discovery and
the evidence against him must
be overwhelming as in a
criminal case, Bowers pointed
out.
The General Assembly in
1988 will make a ‘‘serious in
(Hl’xiry" into whether lawyers
should be regulated by the
state, he continued. One
senator has said he will in
troduce legislation to regulate
lawyers the same as the other
45 occupations overseen bly the
state, il)iowers said. It is
something that is well worthy
of consideration,”’ he added.

POWER i
“Lawyers have enormous
power,” the attorney general
continued, and the question is
whether they should be
regulated by the state the same
as other professions or
occupations. -
Regardless of the outcome
of those specific caes, Bowers
said Georgians will see the
strengthening of the state's
" "Rt
“sunshine” or open
and records laws yin
Those’ changs o ;
significantly increase your
ability to look at your govern
ment."’
It will also mean a change
in the way local and state
government has been operated,
he contended. The days of *‘the
good old boys' running
government is coming ‘‘to a.
screeching halt,” he said, and
that will Ee good for Georila.
“We can't progress with that
kind of government in
Georgia." g
FEWER LAWYERS
In response to questions
from Optimist Club members,
Bowers said there are current
ly fewer lawyers in the General
Assembly tgan in the past. He
also said ‘‘lawyers have been
able to carve out for
themselves a privileged
status.” g ¢
After being on both sides of
the open records and open
meetings issue in past years,
Bowers said he hag determin
ed that the best hope for good
government in the state is open
government. ¢ ;
Most people who serve in
government are ‘‘decent,
honest people,” Bowers said.
But un{)ess people have the
right to know what's goinion
in their government, they
won't be agle to make inform
ed decisions, he indicated. It is
“absolutely critical that you
need to know what's goi:;f on."”
The attorney general also
said he wasn't currying favor
with the press by his stance.
The news media ¥lave written
stories about non-issues in the
f)ast. he said, and gone over
yoard on some matters.
