Permissibility of professional self-advertising on attorney robes: Name and internet address

The Federal Constitutional Court (First Senate, First Chamber) refused to take up the constitutional complaint, rendering the decision final and unappealable without providing a reasoned explanation, thereby upholding the lower instance ruling. The dispute concerned the constitutionality of professional advertising rules, specifically challenging the prohibition or restriction on a lawyer using their name and internet address on their professional robe. The court’s refusal to hear the case implies that the constitutional threshold for admissibility was not met or the complaint lacked prospects of success under the relevant constitutional doctrines regarding professional freedom and advertising restrictions.
