  • 1. Lawyers in Different Countries Do Not Hold the Same Titles Or Share the Same Role and Status
    I. Legal Profession A lawyer is a person who writes a 10,000-word document and calls it a "brief." -- Franz Kafka T can brainstorm expressions used for legal practitioners and activities which lawyers are involved in. 1. Lawyers in different countries do not hold the same titles or share the same role and status. Read the following text giving an outline of legal professions in civil law countries, England and the USA. In which country/countries do attorneys, solicitors, barristers, notaries or advocates work? People roughly acquainted with the legal profession in civil law countries may be tempted to make an equation between the two main strands found there, i.e. notaries and advocates, and the two kinds of lawyers existing in England, i.e. barristers and solicitors, but this is not the case, the latter being of quite a different nature. It is true that English solicitors may draw up various legal documents and make them official as their civil law counterparts do but their scope of work is by far wider. The English solicitors also prepare cases for barristers defending those accused of crimes in courts and may also defend themselves such persons in lower courts. The very term “notary” does not denote a separate profession in England or the USA. There, you can come across the term “notary public” which denotes a professional who has authority to witness and draw up only certain documents and make them official. In England this is performed by solicitors but in the USA this may be done by people who have not qualified as lawyers, or attorneys, as they commonly referred to there.

Available at: https://repository.uchastings.edu/hastings_law_journal/vol13/iss1/1 This Article is brought to you for free and open access by the Law Journals at UC Hastings Scholarship Repository. It has been accepted for inclusion in Hastings Law Journal by an authorized editor of UC Hastings Scholarship Repository. The Attorney as Defendant By JAcK LEAr* .... thousands of young men in the United States annually find their way to the bar, who are poorly qualified for its duties and responsi- bilities, and who, without the aid of the 'cramming' law school, would have possessed neither the patience nor the force of character to have prepared themselves for their bar examinations."' BY CUSTOM and inclination, the lawyer is an officer of the court who becomes a momentary partisan for the sake of justice and a suc- cessful career. At times, however, events force him into an unaccus- tomed role, that of an interested party whose competence or integrity has been attacked in a law suit. His adversary, for the most part, is a former client, no longer satisfied with their previous relation of trust and confidence. During the past century, for example, members of the California bar have had to defend their professional reputations- sometimes successfully, sometimes not-against charges of negligence, breach of a fiduciary duty, fraud, undue influence, misuse of money, 2 breach of contract, and the like.

    APPELLANT PRO SE ATTORNEYS FOR APPELLEES Trina Spainhower Nicholas W. Levi Indianapolis, Indiana Kightlinger & Gray, LLP Indianapolis, Indiana Katherine E. Tapp Kightlinger & Gray, LLP New Albany, Indiana IN THE COURT OF APPEALS OF INDIANA Trina M. Spainhower, August 24, 2021 Appellant-Plaintiff, Court of Appeals Case No. 20A-SC-1629 v. Appeal from the Johnson Circuit Court Smart & Kessler, LLC (f/k/a The Honorable Dan E. Marshall, Smart Kessler & Lowe, LLC), Special Judge Smart Kessler Lowe (a/k/a Trial Court Cause No. Smart & Kessler), John M. 41C01-1911-SC-3097 Smart, III, Douglas W. Kessler, and Brian K. Lowe, Appellees-Defendants. Najam, Judge. Court of Appeals of Indiana | Opinion 20A-SC-1629 | August 24, 2021 Page 1 of 15 Statement of the Case [1] Trina M. Spainhower appeals the small claims court’s denial of her claim for fraud against Smart & Kessler, LLC (“the law firm” or “the firm”)1 and its partners John M. Smart, III, Douglas W. Kessler, and Brian K. Lowe. The court denied Spainhower’s claim on two grounds: that her fraud claim was instead a claim for legal malpractice and, as such, was not timely filed; and, in the alternative, that she had failed to meet her burden of proof to show fraud. [2] Spainhower’s claim was based entirely on the law firm’s representation to her that her initial consultation would be with an attorney belonging to the firm, a representation that was false in that the purported attorney, Matthew Boehning, was not licensed to practice law. We conclude that Spainhower’s claim is not a claim for legal malpractice because the misrepresentation occurred before she met with Boehning and did not occur within an attorney- client relationship.

  • Directory of Regulators of the Legal Profession
    Directory of Regulators of the Legal Profession International Bar Association 2016 Introduction The IBA Bar Issues Commission has produced this global directory of regulators of lawyers as a resource for practising lawyers and Bar Associations. The directory identifies the bodies who are responsible in each jurisdiction for the regulation of lawyers at various key stages, from qualification/entry to the profession, through ethics and conduct rules to disciplinary matters. The directory also gives some basic details on the governing legislation in those jurisdictions where there is a statutory basis for the profession and provides links to the relevant legislation where possible. We are grateful to a large number of Bar Associations and individual IBA members who helped to verify the information contained in this directory. The companion, searchable directory on the IBA’s Website lists all of those who assisted us in producing this resource. In some instances the information given in the directory is based on desk research and has not been officially verified by the jurisdiction concerned. Where this is the case, this is made clear. If you are able to assist with the confirmation or correction of any of the listings that have not yet been verified, this would be greatly appreciated. Similarly, if you are able to provide information about a jurisdiction that has not yet been covered, or if you have an update on one of the jurisdictions listed below, please get in touch with Becca Verhagen at the IBA’s London Office ([email protected]).
