The answer is: C
Explanation
The least accurate statement among the options regarding an advocate's sign-board is:
C: It should not state that the advocate has been a judge.
Explanation:
A. "It should be of reasonable size" is a reasonable requirement, as having a sign-board that is too large or too small could be problematic for visibility and aesthetics.
B. "It may state the advocate's area of expertise or practice" is generally accurate, as long as the information provided is truthful and does not violate any regulations or rules governing legal advertising.
D. "It should not state that the advocate is a member of a bar council" is accurate, as it is typically not necessary to mention bar council membership on a sign-board. Bar council membership is usually assumed for practicing advocates.
E. "It should not state that the advocate is associated with any particular organization" is also accurate. While an advocate may mention the name of their law firm or legal practice, they should not falsely claim an association with an organization they are not part of.
Option C, on the other hand, is the least accurate because an advocate can mention their prior experience as a judge on their sign-board if it is a factual statement. It is not inherently prohibited for an advocate to mention their previous role as a judge, as long as it is true and does not violate any specific regulations or ethical guidelines in the jurisdiction where they practice.
