This paper attempts to generalize a property of regular rings, namely,I2=I for every right (left) ideal. Rings with this property are called right (left) weakly regular. A ring which is both left and right weakly regular is called weakly regular. Kovacs in [6] proved that, for commutative rings, weak regularity and regularity are equivalent conditions and left open the question whether for arbitrary rings the two conditions are equivalent. We show in §1 that, in general weak regularity does not imply regularity. In fact, the class of weakly regular rings strictly contains the class of regular rings as well as the class of biregular rings.
