Israeli lawyers told to ditch TikTok dances, boastful claims under new ethics rules

Following a proliferation of videos posted by Israeli lawyers on social media, the Israel Bar Association's National Ethics Committee has issued a series of new guidelines: Songs, dancing and animation will generally be considered harmful to the dignity of the profession. Lawyers will be required to dress appropriately, refrain from promises such as a "victory in court" and present the key facts of a case rather than merely boasting about a lenient sentence or a large award.
