Özet
Cumhuriyetin ilk yıllarında kabul edilen Muhâmât Kanunu (3 Nisan 1924), bazı avukatları tasfiyeye tabi tutmuş ve avukatlık kurumunu yeniden düzenlemiştir. Tasfiyeler, kanuni şartları avukatlık yapmaya uygun olmayanlar ve Mütareke Döneminde ülke aleyhine çalışmış olanlara yönelik gerçekleşmiştir. Önemli miktarda Gayrimüslim avukatın tasfiyeye tabi tutulması güçlü itirazlara neden olmuştur. Kanunun yoğun olarak tartışılmasının bir diğer nedeni, dönemin önemli muhaliflerinden Lütfi Fikri Bey’in İstanbul Barosu Başkanı olmasıdır. Bu nedenle Muhâmât Kanunu, avukatlık kurumunun yeniden düzenlenmesinin yanı sıra, Cumhuriyet yönetiminin eski düzen yanlısı muhalefet ve Mütareke Döneminde ülke aleyhinde çalışmış Gayrimüslimlerle hesaplaşması olarak ta görülmüştür
