How does the regulation of attorneys protect the public?

  1. By ensuring that an attorney is competent to practice

  2. By creating state bar associations

  3. By imposing specific ethical requirements

  4. (a) and (c) only

The correct answer is: (a) and (c) only

Regulation of attorneys helps to protect the public by making sure that attorneys are competent to practice and by imposing ethical requirements that they must follow. Option A alone does not fully address the importance of ethical requirements in protecting the public. Option B is incorrect because state bar associations are not the sole source of regulation for attorneys. Option C alone does not fully address the importance of competence in practicing law. Therefore, the correct answer is D, as both competence and ethical requirements are crucial for protecting the public.
