What body establishes laws that lawyers must follow?

State Legislatures
Federal Government
Bar Associations
Supreme Court

The correct answer is: State Legislatures

There are a few reasons why the other options are incorrect. The Federal Government has the ability to create laws, but lawyers are not necessarily required to follow them in their practice. The Supreme Court has the power to interpret laws and determine their constitutionality, but they do not establish laws that lawyers must follow. Similarly, Bar Associations may have their own rules and regulations, but they are not the ultimate authority when it comes to creating laws for lawyers to follow. State Legislatures, on the other hand, are responsible for creating and passing laws within their respective states, which includes laws that govern the practice of law and ethical standards for lawyers. Therefore, the body that establishes laws that lawyers must follow is the State Legislatures.
