He said the Council of Legal Education will refer law Professors and teachers managing illegal law faculties to the disciplinary committee of the Body of Benchers .This is why Prof Tahir Mamman SAN is referred to as the most successful Director General since the inception of the institution.

This inference can only be drawn if the subject has been given the special caution, which is a caution in addition to the usual caution and the subject consults with an Australian Legal practitioner in persona so as to fully understand the effect of the special caution. In NSW a subject has the right to a lawyer being present in a police interrogation but they do not have the right to have a lawyer provided for them, therefore a lawyer will only attend if the subject can afford private legal counsel. Therefore, the subject can prevent the invocation of s89A by receiving legal advice over the phone or choosing not to have a lawyer present (assuming they can afford one).

The state of New South Wales passed the Evidence Amendment (Evidence of Silence) Act 2013 which allows the judiciary to direct the jury to draw unfavourable inferences against a defendant who failed or refused to mention a fact during police questioning that they later rely on in court in a bid to be found not guilty.See s89A of the Evidence Act 1995 (NSW). See also The law strictly applies to those over the age of 18 and who have an Australian legal practitioner physically present and available at the time of questioning. The change is designed to reflect reforms made in the United Kingdom in 1994 and only applies to indictable offences that carry a penalty of five or more years imprisonment.

The right to consult with a legal practitioner and especially the right to be informed of this right, was found to be closely related to, and protective of, the presumption of innocence, the right to silence and the proscription of compelled confessions. Failure to recognize the importance of this right would have the effect of depriving persons, especially the uneducated, unsophisticated or poor, of the protection of their rights. This was found to offend not only the concept of substantive fairness, but also the right to equality before the law. The court held that accused No. 1 had merely been informed of his right to legal representation which was not explained to him at all and accused No. 2 had not been informed of his right at all.

Davies was described by a rival candidate as being on the "far right of the Conservative Party", which he described as an attempt to smear him as "some sort of Nazi" for raising concerns over immigration. A critic of the Coalition, Davies once wrote a letter to his constituents apologising for "incompetence at the highest levels of government" and accusing David Cameron of failing to listen to the concerns of backbenchers and the people who elected them. Davies was criticised in 2015 for using the Charlie Hebdo terrorist attack to promote the Conservative Party election pledge to abolish the Human Rights Act 1998. Davies' claim that “under current laws, including the Human Rights Act, anyone can come to the UK and make a claim for asylum” was rebutted in The Guardian and two separate articles by Dr Mark Elliot at the University of Cambridge, and by legal practitioner Adam Wagner.

Meanwhile, on 25 May 2016, for the abuse of legal and court processes and "legal opportunism", Kho's lawyers - Jeanette Chong-Aruldoss, Alfred Dodwell and Gino Hardial Singh - were all slammed by the Attorney-General's Chambers (AGC). The AGC also said that the actions by Kho's lawyers were not upholding the paramount duty a lawyer owes to the court and the abuse of process cannot be justified by the lawyer's duty to his/her clients. They noted that "cherished principle in our legal tradition that a legal practitioner must do his utmost to uphold the administration of justice", but the proceedings should be held in a fair and efficient manner with integrity. They considered the conduct of the lawyers amounted to an abuse of process since the case of Kho Jabing was already exhausted of all avenues of appeal and that there were repeatedly old arguments in all the last-bid attempts to save his life.

In France, avocats, or attorneys, were, until the 20th century, the equivalent of barristers. The profession included several grades ranked by seniority: avocat-stagiaire (trainee, who was already qualified but needed to complete two years (or more, depending on the period) of training alongside seasoned lawyers), avocat, and avocat honoraire (senior barrister). Since the 14th century and during the course of the 19th and 20th in particular, French barristers competed in territorial battles over respective areas of legal practice against the conseil juridique (legal advisor, transactional solicitor) and avoué (procedural solicitor), and expanded to become the generalist legal practitioner, with the notable exception of notaires (notaries), who are ministry appointed lawyers (with a separate qualification) and who retain exclusivity over conveyancing and probate. After the 1971 and 1990 legal reforms, the avocat was fused with the avoué and the conseil juridique, making the avocat (or, if female, avocate) an all-purpose lawyer for matters of contentious jurisdiction, analogous to an American attorney.

The concept of ECLI was first launched at the Legal Access Conference (Paris, December 2008) and at Jurix Conference on Artificial Intelligence and Law in Florence (December 2008). Around the same time, the study by a task group of the EU Council Working Group on e-Law showed that accessibility of judicial decisions, both at the national and European level, was seriously hampered by the lack of standardised identifiers and metadata: > The task group suggested to establish a voluntary common identification > system based on the European Case-Law Identifier (ECLI). ECLI as an > identifier would be linked to an index with references. This would enable > any citizen or legal practitioner to find any decision to which ECLI has > been attributed from any public or private register or database in the EU. > In addition a Dublin-core implementation for case-law should be established > to facilitate searching case-law in different search engines.

SA is yet to push the national legal profession model bill through parliament, because of a political deadlock over compensation for victims of trust account fraud. A legal practitioner or law firm cannot appropriate money from a clients trust account in or towards satisfaction of a claim for legal costs unless a bill specifying the total amount of those costs, and describing the legal work to which the costs relate, has been delivered to the person liable to the costs either personally, or by post addressed to the person at the person's last known place of business or residence. The person liable to legal costs may at any time within six months after delivery of a bill of costs request the person claiming to be entitled to the costs to provide a statement showing in detail how the amount of the costs to which the bill relates is made up.

It allows the bestowal of the title "Senior Counsel" on solicitors. The LSRA advisory committee replaces an earlier advisory committee which had no statutory basis, and no solicitor or lay member. The 2015 act also specifies the criteria for both solicitors and barristers: :(a) has, in his or her practice as a legal practitioner, displayed— ::(i) a degree of competence and a degree of probity appropriate to and consistent with the grant to him or her of a Patent, ::(ii) professional independence, and ::(iii) one or more of the following: :::(I) a proven capacity for excellence in the practice of advocacy; :::(II) a proven capacity for excellence in the practice of specialist litigation; or :::(III) specialist knowledge of an area of law; :(b) is suitable on grounds of character and temperament; :(c) is in possession of a tax clearance certificate that is in force; :(d) is otherwise suitable to be granted a Patent.

The Legal Services Commissioner contended that the legal practitioner acting for a Plaintiff in a personal injuries claim had committed professional misconduct by failing to disclose the fact that his client had been diagnosed with cancer and then relying on a report in a mediation which had assumed a normal life expectancy for the client. The claim had settled at the mediation for significantly more than if the insurer had known of the client's cancer condition. The practitioner, a barrister, defended the charge, arguing that continuing to rely on reports without disclosing the client's condition was not tantamount to some representation that he was not aware of facts that could deleteriously impact on his longevity, and the common assumption was that the parties would rely exclusively on their own resources and information. Justice Byrne held that the practitioner had intentionally deceived the insurer and its barrister concerning the client's life expectancy and this involved such a substantial departure from the standard of conduct to be expected of legal practitioners of good repute and competency as to constitute professional misconduct.

In Brazil, notification is mandatory in the health system, in schools and by the Child Protection Councils (CPC) network, present in many municipalities. In Malaysia, The Child Act 2001 requires any medical officer or medical practitioner, childcare provider or member of the family to notify his/her concerns, suspicions or beliefs that a child may have been abused or neglected to the appropriate child protection authority in the country. Failure to do so can result in criminal charges. In South Africa, Section 110 of the Children's Act, 2005 mandates 'Any correctional official, dentist, homeopath, immigration official, labour inspector, legal practitioner, medical practitioner, midwife, minister of religion, nurse, occupational therapist, physiotherapist, psychologist, religious leader, social service professional, social worker, speech therapist, teacher, traditional health practitioner, traditional leader or member of staff or volunteer worker at a partial care facility, drop-in centre or child and youth care centre' to report when they suspect that a child has been abused 'in a manner causing physical injury, sexually abused or deliberately neglected'.
