ECHR, CASE OF S. v. SWITZERLAND
ruling in application no. 12629/87, 28 November 1991
133. That special role of lawyers, as independent professionals, in the administration of justice entails a number of duties, particularly with regard to their conduct (see Van der Mussele v. Belgium, 23 November 1983, Series A no. 70; Casado Coca v. Spain, 24 February 1994, § 46, Series A no. 285-A; Steur v. the Netherlands, no. 39657/98, § 38, ECHR 2003-XI; Veraart v. the Netherlands, no. 10807/04, § 51, 30 November 2006; and Coutant v. France (dec.), no. 17155/03, 24 January 2008). Whilst they are subject to restrictions on their professional conduct, which must be discreet, honest and dignified, they also enjoy exclusive rights and privileges that may vary from one jurisdiction to another – among them, usually, a certain latitude regarding arguments used in court ..)."
“The Court considers that an accused’s right to communicate with his advocate out of hearing of a third person is part of the basic requirements of a fair trial in a democratic society and follows from Article 6 para. 3 (c) (art. 6-3-c) of the Convention. If a lawyer were unable to confer with his client and receive confidential instructions from him without such surveillance, his assistance would lose much of its usefulness, whereas the Convention is intended to guarantee rights that are practical and effective”
ECHR - GRAND CHAMBER, CASE OF MORICE v. FRANCE,
ruling in application no. 29369/10, judgment of 24 April 2015
"The specific status of lawyers gives them a central position in the administration of justice as intermediaries between the public and the courts. They therefore play a key role in ensuring that the courts, whose mission is fundamental in a State based on the rule of law, enjoy public confidence (see Schöpfer v. Switzerland, 20 May 1998, §§ 29-30, Reports 1998-III; Nikula v. Finland, no. 31611/96, § 45, ECHR 2002-II; Amihalachioaie v. Moldova, no.60115/00, § 27, ECHR 2004-III; Kyprianou, cited above, § 173; André and Another v. France, no. 18603/03, § 42, 24 July 2008; and Mor, cited above, § 42). However, for members of the public to have confidence in the administration of justice they must have confidence in the ability of the legal profession to provide effective representation (see Kyprianou (..))"
AFFAIRE CAZAN c. ROUMANIE
(Requête no 30050/12)
(full judgement-French)
"La Cour réaffirme qu’il revient à la police de respecter le rôle des avocats, de ne pas s’immiscer indûment dans leur travail, ni de les soumettre à aucune forme d’intimidation ou de tracasserie"
(Requête no 41841/12)
La Cour a jugé que la défense d’un client peut, dans certaines circonstances, se poursuivre dans les médias si les propos ne constituent pas des attaques gravement préjudiciables à l’action des tribunaux, et si les avocats s’expriment dans le cadre d’un débat d’intérêt général relatif au fonctionnement de la justice et dans le cadre d’une procédure qui suscite l’intérêt des médias et du public, qu’ils ne dépassent pas le commentaire admissible sans solide base factuelle et qu’ils ont exercé les voies de recours disponibles dans l’intérêt de leur client.
