Abstract:

The main role of an advocate is to help clients get a fair legal process. This role gives birth to high expectations of advocates so that clients give full confidence to advocates to represent their interests. But in practice, it is not uncommon for advocates to abuse the trust given by their clients. As recorded in the 2019 PERADI annual report which shows that advocates reported by their clients to the PERADI Honorary Board are increasing. Avocados do have immunity rights as regulated in Article 16 of Law No. 18 of 2003 concerning Advocates jo. the decision of the Constitutional Court through decision No. 26 / PUU-XI / 2013. But of course, advocates cannot always protect their immune rights, especially if advocates violate the law and harm the interests of their clients. This study aims to analyze the legal responsibilities of lawyers who violate the law while carrying out their profession and are bound in a legal services contract. This research is normative legal research. The approach used in this research is the conceptual approach, the legislation approach, and the case approach. This research concludes that even though law violations were carried out by lawyers while carrying out their profession and based on a contract, advocates remain responsible, both civil and criminal. While the right to immunity can only be used as a basis for legal protection when advocates in good faith in defending the interests of their clients.

Abstract:

There are currently 18,456 attorneys and Candidate attorneys registered with the Law Society of South Afric and 5,941 registered law firms (CLE 2002). Data is not yet available regarding the size distribution of these law firms but a glance at any of the national legal directories will reveal that the majority of attorneys operate as solo practitioners or in association with a few colleagues. A large city practice will generally be well supplied with information resources and with assistance from a librarian or information professional. In a small practice, the information resources that the attorney has at his or her disposal may be limited to a few textbooks, supplemented in some cases with access to electronic databases and Internet resources. Small practices seldom employ information professionals, although they may make use of the services of information agencies and independent contractors to assist with research and/or information management.

Abstract:

The body of European law which affects public services (services of general economic interest) is constantly growing, and thereby increasingly reducing the political autonomy of Member States and their regional and local subunits to finance and organize public services. This causes uncertainty among public authorities and service providers alike. A legal framework for services of general economic interest could reconcile EC law with public services and provide for greater legal clarity. However, such a framework raises a number of fundamental legal questions concerning its legal basis and its relationship with other sources of EC law. This contribution argues that a legal framework for services of general economic interest could clarify key terms of EC law affecting public services, and could be based on the current EC Treaty. A legal framework could not however, alter the overall framework of primary law with its emphasis on competition in a free market.

Abstract:

This article analyzes the content of legislative and bylaws governing the provision of administrative services by the State Migration Service of Ukraine. The author singles out a number of controversial issues in the Law of Ukraine "On Administrative Services". In particular: 1) determination of the range of subjects of appeal; 2) the lack of the principle of digitalization during the formation of state policy in the field of administrative services; 3) absence of out-of-court appeal of the decision and actions of the officials authorized in accordance with the law to provide administrative services, administrators. Therefore, it is proposed to supplement the Law of Ukraine "On Administrative Services" with a rule that one of the rights to determine the right of the subject to extrajudicial appeal against decisions and actions of officials authorized by law to provide administrative services, administrators. When exercising the right to an administrative appeal, the subject of the appeal has the right to a direct administrative appeal and a diagonal administrative appeal; 4) lack of mandatory monitoring of control over the number of services provided by authorized entities and, accordingly, the quality of their provision (successful implementation of the principles of providing administrative services); 5) lack of norms that take into account the peculiarities of providing administrative services in cases of formation of a united territorial community. It is noted that the lack of outlined shortcomings of the special legal act creates negative conditions for neglect of certain administrative and legal norms for the provision of administrative services and creates conflict situations in which the subject can not fully receive quality and fast necessary administrative service, including including in the field of migration, citizenship. It is proposed to understand the system of legal norms that regulate public relations arising during the provision of administrative services in the areas of migration, citizenship, registration of citizens of Ukraine, foreigners, stateless persons under the regulatory framework of regulation of administrative and legal services provided by the State Migration Service of Ukraine. , refugees and other statutory categories of migrants.

Abstract:

All EU nationals have the right to health services that are affordable for everyone under the same conditions. Sector-specific regulations provide that health services are services of general interest that must be implemented through a national legal framework. The state must design the universal health services in a way that respects the principle of public health service affordability for all citizens. In the study, we focused on understanding the legal framework which serves as foundation the regulating universal health services in Slovenia, sector-specific regulations and other acts, and tried to assess the strengths and weaknesses of the Slovenian legal framework. Our efforts have been directed towards studying the legislative framework of the European Union and defining the legal guidelines that establish the legal framework for universal health service creation.

Abstract:

The problem of archival institutions is in lack of employees with knowledge and experiences in law. The budget financing is insufficient for employment of lawyers in archives. Therefore for important services law firms are being hired but so called smaller issues are being serviced by other employees. Stressing out different possibilities of organizing virtual law firms for low budget legal services as legal start-up’s, authors argue that outsourcing is an optimal solution both for institutions and for the lawyers.

Abstract:

The article analyzes the problems of legal regulation of social services that arise in connection with the use of private law principles in the legislation on social services (contractual structures, the involvement of non-state providers of social services, the introduction of competitive principles, etc.). On January 1, 2015, the Federal Law of December 28, 2013 No. 442-FZ “On the Basics of Social Services for Citizens in the Russian Federation” entered into force, which made significant changes to the system of social services. In this regulatory legal act, a complex of legislative novelties was implemented, aimed at overcoming the crisis situation in social services. It was assumed that ensuring a competitive environment, including through the provision of social services on a contractual basis, would improve their quality, and the involvement of non-governmental organizations would solve the problem of the availability of social services. However, an analysis of the provisions of the current federal legislation and the legislation of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation revealed certain problems of legal regulation that impede the achievement of the goals set (violation of the continuity of legislation, the use of certain private law elements of legal regulation in the regulation of public law relations, etc.). Based on the results of the study, the Author concludes that the goals set for the legislator have not been fully achieved. The involvement of non-state providers of social services did not solve the problem of accessibility of social services. At the same time, at the federal and regional levels, a legal space has been created for “delegating” certain state functions to private organizations, the effectiveness of which raises objective doubts. The use of some private law elements of legal regulation (for example, the legal structure “contract”) does not serve the purpose of ensuring the guarantee of social services, but entails further “commercialization” of relations in the field of social services. The article also examines the experience of using so-called hospital-replacing technologies in certain constituent entities of the Russian Federation (creation of foster families for disabled people and citizens living alone). The Author comes to the conclusion that hospitalreplacing technologies can hardly be considered a really effective means of solving the problem of the availability of social services due to the low level of fees received for caring for single citizens and (or) disabled people.

The use of health legal experts in health services in hospitals must reflect a sense of justice for all health workers based on Pancasila and the 1945 Constitution and special health law fields must be present in all hospitals and make health legal experts included in the health workforce group so that strength and Health legal authority is increasing so as to minimize the cases of malpractice that often occur lately. The use of health legal experts in health services in a hospital based on justice is the use of health legal experts in hospitals to prevent malpractice and create a balanced sense of justice between patients, the interests of health workers and the interests of hospitals.

Abstract:

Informed Consent as a legal implication of the general agreement regulated in Article 1320 BW is the embodiment of a therapeutic agreement which is included in the law of engagement, specifically a legal relationship between a number of legal subjects who bind themselves to do or not do something to another party. Therapeutic agreement is an agreement formed because of the legal relationship between doctor and patient. Legal relationship is the relationship between legal subjects or between legal subjects and legal objects, which are regulated by law. The conditions for the occurrence of a legal relationship are the existence of a legal basis, namely the legal regulations governing the relationship and the existence of legal events, namely events that have consequences regulated by law. Before giving medical treatment to the patient, based on Law no. 36 of 2009 concerning Health, Law no. 29 of 2004 concerning Medical Practice and Menistry of Health No. 585/Menkes/Per/IX/1989 concerning Approval of Medical Action which was later changed to Menistry of Health No. 290/Menkes/Per/III/2008 Regarding Medical Action Approval, doctors must obtain informed consent from their patients for medical treatment, since without that doctors can be legally blamed for their actions. This paper was made to know and understand that the informed consent is a form of therapeutic agreement in the effort of health services.

Abstract:

The legal services market is changing. This change has been driven by various factors through the years: expansion of in-house legal departments, globalization (through mergers and outsourcing), technological advances, and the rise of alternative legal service providers. This paper explores these factors in isolation—i.e., discussing each factor separately and distinctly from other factors. Then, this paper seeks to understand these factors together, as products of a legal services market that is evolving from the growth stage into the mature stage. Part I summarizes the early history of law firms, including the rise of the Cravath System through the Golden Era of the 1960s. Part II examines several factors affecting the legal services market, specifically: expansion of in-house legal departments, globalization (through mergers and outsourcing), technological advances, and the rise of alternative legal service providers. Finally, Part III discusses how these factors can also be understood together, as products of a maturing legal services market.

Abstract:

At the National Consultative Forum on Transforming the Administration of Justice System in Nigeria, convened by the Federal Minister of Justice and the Federal Attorney-General in November 2001, it was decided to draft a National Action Plan on Justice Sector Reform in Nigeria and to produce a Justice Vision document. The Ministry of Justice and the Attorney-General's office identified the need to examine ways of (a) upholding the Constitution and the rule of law; (b) promoting justice, fairness and human dignity; and (c) incorporating and expanding community participation in the administration of justice. The Legal Aid Council of Nigeria could contribute to this process by establishing a public defender network using law graduates in the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC). It may be possible to use the NYSC scheme to expand dramatically the current level of legal aid in Nigeria by employing the services of NYSC law graduates more extensively as public defenders. In order to consider the feasibility of such a programme the following factors will be considered: (i) the availability of lawyers and law graduates; (ii) the duties imposed by the Nigerian Constitution; (iii) the function of the Legal Aid Council; (iv) the operation of the Legal Aid Council; (v) the provision of legal aid services by the Legal Aid Council; and (vi) the cost of establishing a structured NYSC public defender programme.

Abstract:

This article aims to analyze the defendants’ right to access a lawyer in criminal law, as defined in international legal standards, and determine the extent to which the legislation of Lao pdr complies. This study finds that Lao law is consistent with international law as regards the defendant’s right to gain access to a lawyer, for instance, as enshrined in the National Constitution, Criminal Law, Civil Law and the Law on Lawyers. However, this article will argue that defendants are not aware of their rights due to poor economic resources and the lack of information on the availability of legal aid services and how to access such services. On the other hand, defendants are unable to implement their rights effectively due to the limited and incompetent protection offered by lawyers. Additionally, legal practitioners and local authorities are not familiar with and accepting of the relevant legislation.

Abstract:

The gap in pro bono legal services provided by corporate legal departments and large private law firms is not surprising: The formalization of pro bono work by large firms has been underway on a significant scale for far longer than it has within corporations. This process has made large firm pro bono efforts more efficient and effective through improved practices. It has also led firm leaders and lawyers generally to expect more volunteerism of this sort. Companies that apply their resources, business experience, or other assets have successfully expanded the impact of their pro bono hours. Because of the scale of this need, and because legal-services lawyers have specialized expertise that corporate lawyers can't easily replicate, corporate pro bono efforts will not, on their own, close the justice gap. But these efforts have the potential to contribute significantly more to the ability of legal-aid organizations to serve their clients, and to help close this gap.

Abstract:

This article examines, in the Australian context, the status of technology-based legal document generation services provided directly to the public, where the service provider is not a lawyer or law practice. A brief overview of how legal practice is regulated, what legal practice is and who can engage in it under Australian law is provided to consider the circumstances where this type of service may amount to the unauthorised practice of law.

Abstract:

The usual excuse for regulation is the failure of market provision. This paper examines legal services and suggests that, in the case of provision of commercial legal services to corporate clients, true events of market failure, to support the case for regulation, and more particularly self-regulation, are hard to locate. It further argues that the market for legal services is heavily stratified with a commercial legal services market effectively operating quite separately to that of professional legal services for private clients. In consequence, it may be more effective and proportionate to adopt differentiated strategies of regulation. This might be achieved by shifting the focus of regulation away from the individual practitioner, as is historically the case, towards law firms as such. This simple step, it is suggested, could facilitate much greater liberalisation of the market for legal services. This proposal is explored with particular reference to freedom of services within the European single market and, as a backdrop to the paper, progress to date in facilitating cross-border legal services in Europe is reviewed.

Abstract:

We are witnessing tremendous changes in the legal services market. Today, entirely new ways of delivering legal services and completely new legal professions are emerging. New technologies empower law companies to develop new business models and new ways of dealing with clients.Artificial intelligence makes it possible to address previously unmet customer needs, wants and demands.The article aims to provide an account of the new developments in the legal industry brought about by profound social and economic changes. The study presents disruptive technologies that substantially enhance the way law companies work. Stages in the evolution of the legal services market in common law countries are described: trends towards standardization, “packetization” and commoditization of legal services are identified. Similar trends are revealed in the development of the Russian legal services market.Issues of incorporating this knowledge in the English language classroom are discussed. The need to develop a new set of lawyering skills is highlighted

Abstract:

AbstractThe legal- and law-related-services market is undergoing significant transformation: it is being expanded and becoming highly competitive, affected by the cultural and economic diversification of the current world society. In Japan, another aspect must be considered in order to clearly understand this transformation. In addition to fully qualified legal professionals, or bengoshi, there are many different certified law-related practitioners such as shihō shoshi (judicial scriveners), gyōsei shoshi (administrative scriveners), zeirishi (certified public tax attorneys), benrishi (patent attorneys), sharōshi (labour and social-security attorneys), and others who are also important actors in the legal- and law-related-services market. These certified law-related practitioners take on important roles not only in services related to civil and administrative law, but also in corporate legal matters in the specialized fields of the business activities of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in Japan. Traditionally, bengoshi and other certified law-related practitioners have shared the legal-services market symbiotically, without competition. However, the situation has gradually changed since around the 1990s. In this paper, the factors of the transformation of the Japanese legal- and law-related-services market are discussed based on empirical data, and the direction of the transformation in this market is indicated.

Abstract:

If notarial offices in medieval Italian towns had not offered their dual services of commercial law contracts and family law documents on the same premises and in the homes of their clients, perhaps the cross-fertilization of ideas that created the instruments of trade sustaining Europe’s emerging market economy would not have followed. Italian traders carried the contracts that undergirded long-distance trade across Europe and the Mediterranean Sea leaving a singular mark on economic development. Corresponding effects on families who were involved in trade were dramatic, if unintended.

Abstract:

Community-embedded law practices are small businesses that are crucial in addressing the legal needs that arise in neighborhoods. Lawyers in these practices attend to recurring legal needs, contribute to building a diverse profession, and spur community development of modest-income communities through legal education and services. Solo practitioners and small firm lawyers represent the largest segment of the lawyer population in the United States, yet their contributions to addressing the legal needs of modest-income clients are rarely recognized or studied. This essay sheds light on the characteristics, motivations, and challenges these law practices face in providing access to justice to modest-means communities.

Abstract:

The article is devoted to the analysis of the institute of public services as an element of administrative law system. The author analyzes the doctrinal sources of the system of administrative law and puts forward the author’s judgments on the formation of the modern system of administrative law. The purpose of this article is to identify the main features of public relations arising in the field of public services and determine the place of the institute of public services in the system of administrative law. In order to achieve this goal, the author analyzes the existing studies devoted to the study of both the system of law in general and the system of administrative law in particular. The methodological basis of this article is a combination of general scientific methods of knowledge, the formal-legal method as well as the comparative legal method. Result. Analyzing the concept of the system of law and the system of legislation, the author concludes that in forming the content of these categories, first of all, it is necessary to establish the stage of development of the state and the types of legal understanding developed in legal science. The author notes that in a state governed by the rule of law, where the individual, his rights and freedoms are of supreme value, the widespread theory of legal positivism must give way to a theory of natural law that allows the distinctive features of the concepts in question to be established. The author has used doctrinal sources as well as law enforcement practice to identify the main characteristics of public services and the criteria for classifying a legal norm in the administrative law system. Having clarified the purpose and objectives of modern administrative law, the author justifies the idea that public service activities are a favourable form of public administration. The purpose of which is to assist individuals in exercising their rights, freedoms and satisfaction of legitimate interests. As a result of the research, it is noted that such relations arise primarily on the basis of general administrative law norms, which leads to the conclusion that the totality of such legal norms should be combined into a legal institute in the system of general administrative law. Conclusion. The author concludes that the modern development of law in general, and administrative law in particular, requires rethinking and allocation in the general administrative law system of the new institute, which may be called – Institute of public services.

Abstract:

AbstractIn 2001, the Legal Services Commission (LSC) introduced a new pilot, the Family Advice and Information Network (FAInS), which recognised that family law clients typically face a cluster of legal and non-legal issues. Family lawyers involved in FAInS were encouraged to address a client’s legal problems, and then refer the client to other services for assistance with non-legal issues. In this way, family law clients were to be offered a holistic service, with the lawyer acting as a ‘case manager’ who helped match services to their client’s individual needs. This article presents data drawn from an evaluation of FAInS, and shows that lawyers did not regularly refer their clients to other services, with referrals largely being limited to mediation. We conclude that family lawyers are not necessarily the most appropriate gatekeepers, and propose a number of alternatives for providing a multi-agency approach to resolving family law issues.

Abstract:

Civil legal services in the United States are increasingly unaffordable and inaccessible. Although the causes are complex, law schools can help in three ways beyond simply offering free legal clinics staffed by lawyers and students. Law schools can teach the next generation of lawyers more efficient and less expensive ways to deliver legal services, ensure that educational debt does not preclude lawyers from serving people of modest means, and conduct and disseminate research on alternative models for delivering legal services. These strategies will not solve all of the problems that exist, but they hold the promise of meaningfully improving the affordability and accessibility of civil legal services.
