论律师执业精神

律师文化建设要以形成中国特色社会主义律师执业精神为核心。律师的执业精神，是律师在执业活动中所表现出来的政治素质、职业素养、职业心理、道德情操、行为风范等与律师实践活动紧密联系的精神元素。律师执业精神是律师执业理念的重要体现，     

中国特色社会主义律师文化体系构想

律师职业化道路研究

律师职业化建设一直是律师界和司法行政管理部门以及关注我国社会主义民主与法治建设的有识之士所追求的目标。如何在我国律师行业发展的过程中走出一条中国特色的律师职业化道路,决定着律师职业化建设的成败。坚持律师职业化道路,在社会主义民主与法制建设进程中占据极其重要的地位,对整个司法制度的影响是极其深远的。在我国律师制度逐步发展和成熟的过程中,律师职业化道路注定是坎坷和充满艰辛的,由于律师肩负着维护社会主义法制,弘扬自由、正义、平等的法的精神的重任,要求律师具备高度的职业化素养以及为实现法的精神的义无返顾的献身精神,承载法律职业共同体所共同维护的司法公正的价值追求。因此,本文立足于我国律师职业化道路进程中所面临的阻碍现状,从全面促进我国社会主义法治进程的角度出发,吸收借鉴国内外有关律师职业化的研究成果,试找到具有中国特色的我国律师职业化发展之路,以实现律师职业服务于社会主义法治建设、服务于社会公众的合法权益,以成就律师的优秀职业道德和执业规范,塑造律师行业的良好形象。

律师文化是精神和实践的统一

律师文化是依附于律师这一特定职业,是律师在法律服务实践中形成的,为广大律师共同认可,并以其言行、举止和执业活动为载体来反映和传播的一种文化现象。律师文化内涵丰富,包括律师价值观、律师理想、律师宗旨、律师伦理、律师道德、律师执业行为的约束、律师制度制定、律师机构管理等等。律师文化是律师业发展的思想根基,是律师行为规范的导航系统,是律师团队的事业核心与精神支柱.是对律师个体行为进行评判的价值标准。律师文化属于精神现象,看似抽象,实则不然。律师的一言一行,有关律师行为的各种规范无不体现律师文化。律师文化是精神和实践的统一。一、律师文化的功能作用

民国上海女律师的执业困境与自我成就

随着民国女律师的出现,中国女性参与法律职业的空白状态终于被打破,成为中国男女在法律职业上平等之起点。由于“赋权”式执业资格的实现方式,女律师执业权利实现后的经营面临着诸多的困境。初入职场的女律师备受时人瞩目,但旧有的律师评价体系仍用“女流之辈”这类标签,高傲地认为妇女与法律职业是相矛盾的。民国女律师在执业过程中要同时克服来自时代、自身以及同业男性律师的三重困境。面对既存的男性律师关系网带来的压力,她们没有甘心屈居“他者”的地位,而是调动一切资源开展业务,试图跻身民国律师中的佼佼者行列。     

Debate over the concept of the competent lawyer in Japan “What skills and attitudes does Japanese society expect from lawyers?”

It has been 2 years since legal education reform started in Japan. The Justice System Reform Council envisioned the 21st century lawyer as a lawyer who “not only has highly developed professional legal knowledge but also has acquired strong legal ethics based on wide cultural knowledge and rich humanity” (Recommendations of the Justice System Reform Council—For a Justice System to Support Japan in the 21st Century—(June 21, 2001)). Since then, all interested parties have been trying to specify the qualifications needed to be a competent lawyer: What lawyering skills and professional attitudes does Japanese society expect from lawyers; how can they be acquired; and how can they be examined or evaluated? In this paper, I first briefly describe the traditional legal training system and the traditional image of the lawyer in Japan. Second, I look at the history of legal training system reform; summarize images of the lawyer each that interested party envisions, and review the current status of the reform. Then, I explore the optimum way to reinforce the quality and quantity of the legal profession in Japan.     

Do Lawyers Impair Economic Growth?

The large U.S. legal profession hurts economic productivity in the United States and our economic competitiveness abroad according to a common claim A number of studies support that claim, but they suffer from serious flaws. I reexamine the hypothesis that large lawyer populations impair economic growth and suggest that it lacks theoretical and empirical support. The hypothesis depends on false assumptions about the organizational capability and interest of the legal profession; the empirical research in sup port of the hypothesis depends on flawed lawyer data, unusual combinations of high lawyer populations and low economic growth in one or two countries, and the unjustified use of lawyer population figures from the 1980s in analyses of economic growth prior to that period. I present the results of research on lawyer populations and economic growth among the US. states and in a sample of countries, correcting for the worst flaws of past research The results do not support the claim that large lawyer populations impair aggregate economic growth The analysis is not intended as the final answer on this important question but rather as an encouragement for a more sophisticated understanding of the role of lawyers in late modern economies.     

中国律师业的制度定位与职业文化特徵

律师服务业与市场经济一脉相承，律师文化关乎律师业的职业生命。挖掘律师职业文化的逻辑内涵、抽象律师职业文化的精神特质、建构中国特色的律师文化直接关系到中国律师职业整体的职业走向、职业价值和职业命运，不可等闲视之。无论中国有关律师职业制度定位的具体涵义怎麽变迁，也不论这些立法制度定位的优劣如何，基于律师职业作为国家上层建筑重要组成部分、市场经济服务主体与法律专业技术组织的特殊地位，中国特色律师文化作为中国律师职业整体的文化认同，均突出表现着公共服务性、专业竞争性、职业驰名性、市场稀缺性和政治边缘性持质。     

中国律师的职业定位

律师职业是现代法治的必备元素,独立而完善的律师阶层以保障民权、制衡公权为己任。职业化使得中国律师走向独立,这同时又是去行政化的过程。商业化因素在这一过程中起着不容忽视的正面和负面作用,应当施以公允的评价并进行一定的控制。在忠诚的前提下,律师对于委托人亦应当保持必要的独立。考量中国司法制度运行的现状,律师如何保持同公、检、法三机关的独立是一个亟待解决的问题。     

The Financial Rewards of Elite Status in the Legal Profession

This article focuses on the role of intergenerational status attainment for legal careers. By decomposing the earnings gap between elite and nonelite lawyers at two points in their careers, we find that inherited cultural capital produces an earnings advantage as soon as lawyers begin their careers and that this gap persists over time. We further find that the processes underlying this gap change as lawyers make their way through the profession. While in early careers, the elite advantage is due to stronger starting endowments, the advantage for junior lawyers results from a more complex process, which combines starting endowments, professional capital gained during the first years of practice, and the rate at which endowments are differentially rewarded in the profession. Elaborating on work that identifies the importance of maintaining and concentrating diverse forms of capital in the legal profession, we explain the process through which elite lawyers gain and retain their advantage over time.     

Why Are There So Many Lawyers? Perspectives on a Turbulent Market

The venerable legal profession has emerged, over the past generation, as one of the nation's fastest growing occupations. In this paper, we suggest that this fact is not mere happenstance, but is part and parcel of other fundamental changes in the "legal services industry." We attempt to define and clarify these changes by presenting time series data on a number of these developments, including the growth of law as an economic sector, the increasing concentration of law firm activity, and income trends among lawyers. We then offer a simplified demand and supply analysis of the market for lawyers, concluding that several interrelated factors fostered the lawyer boom. In the paper's final sections, we speculate about the forces causing a spiraling demand for legal services and a growing inequality of incomes between the elite firms and sole practitioners.     

Deterioration or refinement? Impacts of an increasing number of lawyers on the lawyer discipline system in Japan

This paper discusses the impacts of an increasing number of lawyers (bengoshi) on the lawyer discipline system in Japan. Due to a relatively small number of lawyers up until the 1990s, few people, including citizens and lawyers themselves, cared about the misconduct of lawyers. However, there appears to be a recent change in this tendency. The sudden increase in the number of lawyers after the Justice System Reform in 2001 focused citizens’ awareness on quality in the practice of law. Some lawyers claim that the increase in the number of young lawyers has deteriorated the quality of legal services, thereby damaging public trust in lawyers. In this paper, I analyze lawyer discipline cases from 1988 to 2015 that are available to the public. The result shows that while the number of disciplinary cases actually has increased since 2004, it is not young lawyers but primarily experienced senior members who have contributed to the increase. In conclusion, I argue that an increase in lawyer discipline is a positive phenomenon for the Japanese bar in developing detailed ethical standards, thereby providing better legal services.     

Changes in Lawyers' Earnings: The Impact of Differentiation and Growth in the Canadian Legal Profession

The relatively greater numbers of young, female, and salaried lawyers are said to have diminished the legal profession's control of the market for its services, and hence of its income and status. This article examines the effects on lawyers' real earnings attributable to the rapid change in size and composition of the legal profession in Canada during the 1970s. An analysis of the components of inter-temporal earnings differences, which takes account of changes in composition and in the remuneration or pay structure, shows that the unprecedented growth in lawyer supply was responsible for most of the decline in lawyers' real earnings. But lawyers who were young, female, salaried, or in government service avoided this negative market effect, while lawyers who were male, self-employed, or outside the major financial centers, bore most of the negative economic impact of the rapid supply growth.     

Interdisciplinarity and the Discipline of Law

This article concerns the effects of interdisciplinary research conducted by academic lawyers on the legal discipline itself. It discusses the intellectual tension between the modes of legal analysis traditionally used by academic lawyers and the approach taken by interdisciplinary scholars, and how this tension is rooted in the challenges interdisciplinarity poses to widely-accepted notions about the purposes of legal scholarship and the relationship between academic lawyers and the legal profession. The article considers the implications of legal interdisciplinarity in light of the cultural context from which legal interdisciplinarians emerge and how the relationship between legal scholarship and legal practice ultimately guarantees the continued existence of a distinct and coherent disciplinary identity for law.
