Since the first Ghanaian lawyer was called to the British Bar in 1887, the legal profession has grown and developed into a cadre of lawyers who act in various professional capacities. This article uses a historical institutionalist approach in examining the development of the legal profession in Ghana. The article provides indepth analyses of the changes that have taken place in the profession since the first law school was established in Ghana in 1958. It examines various transformations that have occurred, and how lawyers have navigated the fast-changing globalization trends at the domestic and international levels. The article concludes with ideas for future research on the legal profession in Ghana.","PeriodicalId":43893,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of the Legal Profession","volume":"29 1","pages":"75 - 101"},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2021-10-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41471902","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

One of these, the cab rank rule, is considered above reproach. The author was commissioned to examine the working of the rule by the Legal Services Board. The resulting analysis caused much indignation among the Bar with a complete rejection of the research. This article discusses from sociological and economic perspectives how the rule functions and why the Bar was unable to engage positively. It also examines various issues in doing research on the legal profession by looking at other researchers’ histories, how the legal profession is averse to change and modernisation and clings to a manufactured sense of tradition. Any challenge to the profession’s symbolic order is perceived as a threat rather than a moment of reflection.","PeriodicalId":43893,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of the Legal Profession","volume":"29 1","pages":"3 - 32"},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2021-09-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48043078","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this regard, the important role of the criminal defence lawyer in compensating for a suspect’s vulnerability is emphasised, especially because vulnerable persons require special care to understand their legal rights and to improve the quality of their statements. Consequently, defence lawyers must be aware early on in proceedings whether their clients can be qualified as vulnerable in order to adequately deal with this presumed vulnerability. In practice, determining early on whether or not a client is vulnerable is a challenging task. Drawing from a legal theoretical and qualitative empirical analysis, this article outlines how Belgian defence lawyers perceive and identify suspect vulnerability in the early stages of a criminal investigation.","PeriodicalId":43893,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of the Legal Profession","volume":"29 1","pages":"281 - 301"},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2021-09-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44929903","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It is dominated by big law firms. Till two decades ago the number of women in these firms was small, but as in many countries women meanwhile outnumber men in legal education, the law firms have to hire women increasingly as they need the female talent. On associate level women meanwhile have a fair share. The question arose amongst practitioners which impact an intrusion of women in this formerly male field would have. Can women negotiate as successfully as their male colleagues and do they judge differently? That means that the questions dealt with over many years in projects on gender and judging appeared in a new context.","PeriodicalId":43893,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of the Legal Profession","volume":"29 1","pages":"53 - 74"},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2021-07-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/09695958.2021.1953502","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42560260","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Aspects of this discourse have also begun to impact other areas of the law, such as mitigation in professional misconduct. However, problems can arise if aspects of one discourse are imported into others. Using the Singapore law of professional misconduct as a case study, this article utilizes concepts from discourse analysis to understand how discourse regarding lawyers can be removed from its original context and inserted into another. The article identifies two examples of pro bono discourse in the mitigation of professional misconduct, that of distinguishing law-related public service from other charitable acts and distinguishing genuine pro bono services from self-serving commercial activity. The article investigates the coherence of this pro bono discourse in the field of professional misconduct and concludes that some pro bono discourse fits its new context while others do not. The article argues for an increased awareness of how lawyer discourse potentially impacts professional regulation.","PeriodicalId":43893,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of the Legal Profession","volume":"28 1","pages":"223 - 239"},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2021-05-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/09695958.2021.1922414","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46426000","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Critical approaches allow for understanding how the legal profession respond to different constellations of actors and other social forces and how it is characterized by internal divisions and stratifications. Finally, Weberian approaches are helpful to reveal how the legal profession legitimizes itself by developing specific legal rationalities in response to societal and political dynamics.","PeriodicalId":43893,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of the Legal Profession","volume":"29 1","pages":"319 - 334"},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2021-04-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/09695958.2021.1920417","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47457817","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Albeit not peculiar to Australia, technological innovations, including remote working, digitalised platforms and artificial intelligence (AI), are also dramatically changing the way law is practised. Invariably motivated by profit maximisation, the impact of these reforms poses discomfiting questions for the underlying values of legal professionalism. This article will overview the reforms that have occurred, drawing on a small study of NewLaw firms in Australia and the UK, to illustrate how the “Uberisation” of contemporary legal practice is contributing to a new incarnation of postprofessionalism. The article will also show how the injunction to work at home in response to COVID-19 has given “Uberisation” an adrenalin shot in the arm.","PeriodicalId":43893,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of the Legal Profession","volume":"28 1","pages":"243 - 263"},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2021-03-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/09695958.2021.1901715","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44478532","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These points cover different stages during the evolution of the regulatory system from what was arguably the height of legal professionalism to the post-professional system initiated by the revolutionary Legal Services Act 2007.
