International Rule of Law and Professional Ethics by Vesselin Popovski Pdf

This book examines an interesting and relatively understudied area of the evolution of the international rule of law and the role of professional ethics. The rule of law has been gradually developed and promoted at the national level over centuries, however at the international level it has only recently received (more in rhetoric than in implementation) support from a macro perspective - developments of international rules and institutions, and from a micro perspective - ethical codes, independence and un-bias of professionals, working in international organizations and tribunals. The book offers analysis and recommends policies to strengthen the rule of law at international level to meet a major global governance demand in ensuring equity, justice, stability and consistency in international affairs.

International Rule of Law and Professional Ethics by United Nations. University Pdf

This book investigates the concept international rule of law, which can be a problematic one as terms such as international democracy, international welfare or international freedom of speech are not commonly used. International rule of law is defined as a process of recognition worldwide that law, both domestic and international, must be supreme and must remain detached from both power and bias. The authors argue that international rule of law is a gradual ascendance of law above power internationally, which can be illustrated in two ways: by global acceptance of the principles of rule of law and by repeated rulings of international tribunals, reaffirming that the supremacy of law places it above political, economic or other considerations. The book also examines how professional ethics, in particular the ethical behaviour of various groups of international employees, such as judges and prosecutors in international tribunals, diplomats and legal advisors, international civil servants and commissioners, can contribute to the development of the international rule of law.

Law, Lawyering and Legal Education by Charles Sampford,Hugh Breakey Pdf

Once a highly cosmopolitan profession, law was largely domesticated by the demands of the Westphalian state. But as the walls between sovereign states are lowered, law is globalizing in a way that is likely to change law, lawyering and legal education as much over the next 30 years – when the students entering law schools today reach the peak of their profession – as it has over the last 300. This book provides a sustained investigation of the theoretical and practical aspects of legal practice and education, synthesizing and developing nearly thirty years of Professor Sampford’s critical thought, analysis and academic leadership. The book features two major areas of investigation. First, it explains the significance of the ‘critical’, ‘theoretical’ and ‘ethical’ dimensions of legal education and legal practice in making more effective practitioners – placing ethics and values at the heart of the profession. Second, it explores the old/new challenges and opportunities for ethical lawyers. Challenges include those for lawyers working in large organisations dealing with issues from international tax minimisation to advising governments bent on war. Opportunities range from the capacity to give client’s ethical advice to playing a key role in the emergence of an international rule of law as they had to the ‘domestic’ rule of law. The book should stimulate great interest and occasional passion for legal practitioners, students, teachers and researchers of law, lawyering, legal practice and legal institutions. Its inter-disciplinary approaches should be of interest to those with interests in education theory, international relations, political science and government, professional ethics, sociology, public policy and governance studies.

Law Without Frontiers:A Comparative Survey of the Rules of Professional Ethics Applicable to the Cross-Border Practice of Law by Edwin Godfrey Pdf

This book is a comparative study which covers a number of major jurisdictions, viz., Australia, Belgium, Canada, England and Wales, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Spain, Sweden, The Netherlands and the USA. A separate chapter deals with developments in the context of the European Union. The study is based on a questionnaire of the IBA Section on Business Law Subcommittee on the Structure and Ethics of Business Law. Part one of each country report covers the basic rules applying to the domestic legal profession, such as the method of qualifying as a lawyer, the extent to which legal services are reserved to lawyers, and the ethical rules which apply to matters such as advertising, fees, correspondence, etc. The second part sets out what rules the jurisdiction in question imposes on its own lawyers when they are involved outside the jurisdiction. The third part deals with the rules which apply to a foreign lawyer practising within the jurisdiction. The last part deals with the various kinds of international associations to which lawyers may be party, such as alliances, office-sharing and multi-national and multi-disciplinary partnerships. In a final chapter the editor draws some conclusions on the current situation and on where international practice is heading. A number of useful appendices have been added, which set out the most important texts including the IBA International Code of Ethics.

Rights, Liability and Ethics in International Legal Practice by Mary C. Daly,Stein Institute of Law and Ethics Pdf

The legal profession has played a key role in enabling business to move goods and services across borders, but the regulation of the legal profession has not kept pace with the changes that have occurred in communications, transportation and technology.

The extent and scope of their potential liability to clients is similarly uncertain. This work is the first major study by transnational lawyers and academics of ethical and practice-related problems and challenges arising from the provision of cross-border legal services. it discusses such topics as conflicts of interest from the perspective of the US, English, French and Dutch legal systems, And The rights of foreign lawyers to practice in Belgium, France, Great Britain, Germany, Japan And The US. Particular attention is paid To The Code of Conduct for Lawyers in the European Community And The Draft Directive on the Right to Establishment for Lawyers in the European Community. Audience: Practitioners and academics will find the work an invaluable resource. For practitioners, The chapters are sensitive to real-life dilemmas that are regularly encountered. For academics, there is a comparative approach and analysis that is both intellectually rich and provocative.

Professional Ethics at the International Bar by Arman Sarvarian Pdf

Over the past twenty years, the volume of international litigation and arbitration has increased exponentially. As the number of new international courts and tribunals has proliferated, the diversity and volume of advocates appearing before the international courts has also increased. With this increase, the ethical standards that apply to counsel have become a growing field of interest to practitioners of public international law. Problems threatening the integrity of the international judicial process and concerns about divergent ethical standards amongst counsel have multiplied in the international judicial system, prompting early attempts by senior members of the 'international bar' to articulate common ethical standards. Professional Ethics at the International Bar examines the question of how to articulate common ethical standards for counsel appearing before international courts and tribunals, and the legal powers and practical ability of international courts to prescribe and enforce such standards. It conducts original research into both the theory and practice of the issues arising from this nascent process of professionalization. Using various sources, including interviews with judges, registrars, and senior practitioners, it argues that the professionalization of advocacy through the articulation of common ethical standards is both desirable and feasible in order to protect the integrity and fairness of the international judicial process.

Ethics and Authority in International Law by Alfred P. Rubin Pdf

The specialized vocabularies of lawyers, ethicists, and political scientists obscure the roots of many real disagreements. In this book, the distinguished American international lawyer Alfred Rubin provides a penetrating account of where these roots lie, and argues powerfully that disagreements which have existed for 3,000 years are unlikely to be resolved soon. Attempts to make 'war crimes' or 'terrorism' criminal under international law seem doomed to fail for the same reasons that attempts failed in the early nineteenth century to make piracy, war crimes, and the international traffic in slaves criminal under the law of nations. And for the same reasons, Professor Rubin argues, it is unlikely that an international criminal court can be instituted today to enforce ethicists' versions of 'international law'.
