1Under Article 193 of the CRA, Lei n.º 8/17 (Lei da Advocacia), and the Estatutos da OAA, what is the nature of advocacy in Angola?
A.A liberal, independent profession that is an indispensable element for the administration of justice, serving the public interest and the rule of law through the defense of citizens' rights and freedoms
B.A subordinate department of the Ministry of Interior tasked with enforcing police discipline
C.A commercial retail trade operated exclusively for wholesale profit
D.A judicial body of judges who deliver binding final verdicts in civil litigation
Explanation: Article 193 of the CRA recognizes advocacy as an institution essential to the administration of justice. Lei n.º 8/17 regulates the exercise of advocacy, while Articles 1–3 of the OAA Statutes establish an independent professional order that regulates the profession and defends legality and fundamental rights.
2Under Article 65 of the OAA Statutes and Article 4 of the OAA Code of Ethics, what is Professional Secrecy (Segredo Profissional do Advogado)?
A.A fundamental duty of public interest and statutory right that obligates the advocate to maintain strict confidentiality regarding all facts, documents, and disclosures learned in the exercise of their profession or during consultation
B.An optional marketing strategy that can be waived whenever a client refuses to pay a bonus
C.A rule that applies only when the client is a foreign diplomat
D.A prohibition against speaking Portuguese in the courtroom
Explanation: Article 65 of the OAA Statutes and Article 4 of the Code of Ethics protect facts and materials learned from clients, colleagues, co-parties, and opposing parties during settlement work, whether or not a mandate was accepted or paid. Disclosure that is absolutely necessary to defend legitimate interests requires prior authorization from the relevant Provincial Council president, with appeal to the Bastonário.
3Under Article 54 of the OAA Statutes and Article 21 of the OAA Code of Ethics, what is the rule regarding a strict quota litis agreement?
A.It is strictly prohibited: an advocate cannot enter into an agreement with the client whereby the fee consists exclusively of a percentage share of the eventual outcome/proceeds of the dispute
B.It is mandatory in all commercial and labor court cases
C.It is allowed only if the advocate receives 95% of the disputed property
D.It is permitted only when approved by the local municipal mayor
Explanation: Article 54 of the OAA Statutes prohibits demanding part of the disputed object as fees or making payment exclusively dependent on the outcome. Article 21 of the Code of Ethics defines and prohibits strict quota litis while distinguishing a genuine alternative-fee arrangement that still guarantees a real minimum payment for an adverse outcome.
4Under Article 11 of Lei n.º 8/17, which of the following functions is incompatible with active practice of advocacy?
A.Exercising the functions of a judicial magistrate (judge), public prosecutor (Ministério Público), active military or police officer, or civil servant with administrative decision-making powers
B.Teaching law at an accredited public or private university faculty
C.Publishing a scholarly academic legal textbook on civil procedure
D.Acting as an independent legal arbitrator in private commercial arbitrations
Explanation: Article 11 of Lei n.º 8/17 lists incompatible functions including judicial and Ministério Público magistrates, court and police personnel, specified executive officeholders, and any other function made incompatible by law. Its stated exceptions include retirees, persons on specified inactive status, and administrative personnel performing exclusively legal-consultation functions.
5Under the Angolan Code of Civil Procedure (Código de Processo Civil — CPC), what is the legal consequence when a Statement of Claim (Petição Inicial) lacks the statement of cause of action (causa de pedir) or has contradictory claims?
A.The statement of claim is inept (inepcia da petição inicial), resulting in an absolute procedural exception (excepção dilatória) and total dismissal of the proceedings without judgment on the merits (absolvição da instância)
B.The defendant is automatically convicted of all unstated charges
C.The plaintiff is awarded double damages by the court clerk
D.The lawsuit is immediately transferred to a foreign commercial tribunal
Explanation: Under Articles 193 and 494 of the CPC, inépcia da petição inicial occurs when the pleading lacks a causa de pedir, when the request is unintelligible, or when the claims/causes are mutually incompatible. Ineptitude is an excepção dilatória that generates absolvição da instância.
6Under the Angolan Code of Criminal Procedure (Lei n.º 39/20), what is the first procedural step a defense advocate must take when an arrested client is presented before the Juiz de Garantias for the initial judicial hearing (primeiro interrogatório judicial de arguido preso)?
A.Ensure confidential consultation and representation before questioning, verify the grounds and 48-hour limit for detention, assist during the interrogation, and argue for release or a lawful non-custodial measure when appropriate
B.Advise the client to physically attack the court clerk
C.Leave the courthouse and let the police interrogators proceed alone
D.Agree immediately to life imprisonment without seeing the case file
Explanation: Articles 67, 69, and 71 of Lei n.º 39/20 protect confidential communication and make counsel mandatory for interrogation of a detained accused; Articles 250, 254, and 258 govern the purpose, grounds, time limit, and interrogation following detention. Counsel should first secure a confidential consultation and informed representation, then test the detention and advocate the least restrictive lawful outcome.
7Under the General Labor Law of Angola (Lei Geral do Trabalho — Lei n.º 12/23), what is the statutory deadline for an employee to challenge an unlawful individual disciplinary dismissal (impugnação de despedimento individual) in court?
A.120 days counted from the day after the dismissal occurred
B.48 hours
C.10 years
D.20 years
Explanation: Article 313 of Lei n.º 12/23 provides that the right to ask a court to declare a dismissal unlawful expires 120 days after the day on which the dismissal occurred.
8Under the OAA Statutes and disciplinary regulations, who exercises disciplinary jurisdiction over advocates and trainee advocates?
A.The OAA exercises exclusive disciplinary jurisdiction through the competent organs and procedures established by its Statutes and disciplinary regulations, with due process and a right of defense
B.By the local municipal police commissioner in summary executive proceedings
C.By the private board of directors of commercial banking corporations
D.By a public telephone voting survey
Explanation: Article 3(f) and Article 74 of the OAA Statutes place advocates and trainees under the OAA's exclusive disciplinary jurisdiction. Competence, investigation, decision, and review follow the Statutes and the current disciplinary regulation; the process must safeguard notice, defense, and the available remedies.
9Under the Angolan Code of Civil Procedure (CPC), what is a Precautionary Injunction (Providência Cautelar) and what are the two core statutory requirements for its granting?
A.A summary, urgent judicial measure to prevent irreparable harm to a right during the main lawsuit, requiring proof of Fumurs Boni Iuris (probability of the right) and Periculum in Mora (danger of delay/irreparable damage)
B.A permanent final judgment that cannot be appealed under any circumstance
C.A commercial loan issued by a state-owned bank to a litigant
D.A tax collection warrant issued by the General Tax Administration
Explanation: Under Articles 381 et seq. of the CPC, Providências Cautelares are provisional, urgent remedies designed to safeguard the practical efficacy of the main proceedings. The applicant must prove two cumulative prerequisites: (1) Fumus boni iuris (aparência do direito) and (2) Periculum in mora (fundado receio de dano grave ou de difícil reparação).
10Under the Constitution of the Republic of Angola (Article 68) and the CPP (Lei n.º 39/20), what is the extraordinary procedural remedy of Habeas Corpus?
A.An urgent constitutional guarantee filed before the competent court to put an immediate end to unlawful, arbitrary, or unconstitutional detention, arrest, or imprisonment
B.A commercial lawsuit to collect overdue unpaid rent invoices
C.A petition to register an agricultural trademark in the patent office
D.A motion to increase court filing fees for civil appeals
Explanation: Article 68 of the CRA and Articles 288–292 of Lei n.º 39/20 (CPP) make Habeas Corpus an urgent guarantee of personal liberty against unlawful detention or imprisonment. The detained person or any citizen enjoying political rights may petition for it on that person's behalf.
