La Abogacía es incompatible con ciertos cargos, empleos y otras actividades; además, en algunos casos no pueden existir vínculos profesionales asociados con las personas afectadas por esas incompatibilidades.

Regulates how the Council’s President and elected councillors are nominated, voted on, proclaimed, and take office. El Pleno decide varias competencias internas y puede delegar algunas en el Presidente; la Secretaría General convoca las reuniones necesarias y ciertas comisiones pueden resolver recursos o actuar con urgencia. The Pleno of the Consejo General must meet at least once every quarter, after being called by the President. It may also meet when the President agrees, on the President’s own initiative or at the request of the Comisión Permanente or 20% of Pleno members.
