What is the difference between incompatibility and impediment (impedimento) in the Estatuto da Advocacia?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: D. Incompatibility bars practice entirely; impediment only against certain entities
- Step 1: Article 27 states that incompatibility prohibits the exercise of the profession totally. Step 2. It also says impediment prohibits it partially, for example against the Fazenda Pública that pays the lawyer (Article 30). Answer: Incompatibility bars practice entirely; impediment only against certain entities. Why not the others: the other options invent time limits, reverse the concepts or deny any difference.
