La déontologie constitue, de tout temps, un élément essentiel de la profession d'avocat. Constituée d'un ensemble de règles, dont certaines restent purement coutumières, elle est ce qui fait de l'avocat bien plus qu'un simple auxiliaire de la justice. S'il demeure incontestable que l'ensemble des barreaux français adopte, et depuis très longtemps, une attitude commune sur les principes, en partie dictée par le puissant barreau de Paris, il n'en est pas moins vrai, que les barreaux de province, et notamment ceux du sud-est, ont toujours fait preuve d'indépendance, préférant, bien souvent, l'esprit à la lettre. Leur position en ce qui concerne principalement la recherche de clientèle et la lutte contre les réseaux d'affaires est incontestablement courageuse. La réponse qu'ils donnent au délicat de problème de l'honoraire est novatrice. Les Conseils de l'Ordre, principalement dans le Sud-Est, avant d'être des organes de sanction, sont avant tout des organes de conseil. Ceux du ressort de la Cour d'appel d'Aix-en-Provence font de la conservation des traditions un devoir et de la modération une vertu. / Legal ethics have always been an essential part of legal business. Made up of a set of rules, some of which are merely customary rules, legal ethics lead the lawyer to be more than an aid of the justice. One usually notice the common, very ancient and general agreement of all french Bars on some principles, behaviour partly dictated by the powerful Bar of Paris. However, it’s also true that other Bars, in particular those of the South-East of France from Marseille to Nice, have always shown a real independence in the application of such principles, liking better the spirit of these rules than their letter. Regarding the search for customers and the wrestling against business networks, the positions of these bars is unarguably brave. The solution they give to the delicate problem of the fees of the lawyer are innovative. The Bars’ Councils, mainly in the South-East of the France, besides being organs of penalty for their profession, are especially organs of reflexion ans council. Those depending of the competence of the Court of Appeal of Aix-en-Provence, carry out the duty to defend the traditions and consider moderation as virtue.

RESUMÉ THE PERFORMANCE OF A LEGAL PROFESSION (THE BAR) IN THE CZECH REPUBLIC AND IN BELARUS The aim of this thesis is to characterize the practice of law in the Czech Republic and Belarus. This theme was chosen because of the comparison of advocacy in both countries and also because of the limited number of literature sources about law practices and advocacy organization in Belarus, to at least briefly cover the operation of this Institute from the very beginning. Czech Republic and Belarus are democratic countries. Czech Republic is a parliamentary form of government. According to the Constitution of the Republic of Belarus (1994) it is a presidential republic, with strong centralization of legislative, executive and judicial power in the hands of the president, as evidenced by presidential decrees, which significantly affects the advocacy activities and organization in Belarus. A common feature of both countries is the nature of the mission of advocacy - providing skilled and professional legal assistance in accordance with the law; serving the principles of legality and justice. This thesis is systematically divided into individual chapters. The first chapter defines the key terms related to the Advocacy Institute and the right to legal assistance in general. The second chapter is devoted to the...

Se observa en el Perú un incremento sostenido del número de arbitrajes en contrataciones con el Estado, por lo que es cada vez más trascendente el interés público que subyace en ello. Por ende, las disputas del arbitraje se tratan bajo el escrutinio de la sociedad en general y lamentablemente, casos como el de Orellana e investigaciones como las realizadas a raíz de Lava Jato han puesto en materia de discusión la transparencia del arbitraje. Por ello, el objetivo de este artículo es contribuir un poco más al entendimiento de la realidad arbitral de modo que se hagan más observables ciertas realidades del arbitraje peruano y se identifiquen preliminarmente algunos aspectos susceptibles de mejora como son las designaciones de los árbitros y el deber de revelación. También, se plantea una propuesta primigenia de marco normativo usando como base las reglas del International Bar Association (en adelante IBA) y teniendo en consideración características propias de nuestro contexto. Cabe mencionarse que esta investigación es en su mayoría de metodología dogmática, ya que usa normativa, doctrina y jurisprudencia para fundamentar el razonamiento. Sin también se presentan cifras y datos obtenidos de estudios e informes jurídicos para dar solidez a la argumentación. Una de las conclusiones principales es que dada la existencia de materias especializadas con pocos profesionales en dichos campos y de un creciente número de arbitrajes los parámetros numéricos de las IBA deben ser modificados para que puedan ser herramientas idóneas para nuestro sistema jurídico. / A sustained increase in the number of arbitrations in contracting with the State is observed in Peru, so the public interest underlying this is becoming more transcendent. Therefore, arbitration disputes are dealt with under the scrutiny of society in general and, unfortunately, cases such as the Orellana case and investigations such as those carried out as a result of Lava Jato case have put the transparency of arbitration under discussion. Therefore, the objective of this article is to contribute a little more to the understanding of the arbitration reality in such a way that certain realities of Peruvian arbitration become more observable and some aspects susceptible to improvement are preliminarily identified, such as the appointments of the arbitrators and duty of disclosure . Also, an original proposal o normative framework was made using as a basis the rules of the International Bar Association (hereinafter IBA) and taking into account characteristics of our context. It should be noted that this research is mostly dogmatic methodology, since it uses legislation, doctrine and jurisprudence to support the reasoning. Also, figures and data obtained from legal studies and reports are also presented to give strength to the argument. One of the main conclusions is that considering the existence of specialized subjects with few professionals in these fields and a growing number of arbitrations, the numerical parameters of the IBA must be modified so that they can be suitable tools for our legal system.

Master of Arts / Department of Sociology, Anthropology, and Social Work / Gerad Middendorf / This study examines the issue of gender bias and other gendering processes within the profession of law in Kansas. Although women have made great strides toward equality within the law profession, there are still glaring disparities between men’s and women’s occupational attainment. Women enter law school at similar rates as men do; however, they are not similarly represented in the legal profession upon graduation, or throughout their careers. Utilizing a theory of gendered organizations, this study seeks to investigate what impact, if any, certain sociodemographic factors, sector of law, mentorship, and perceptions of discrimination, have on women’s levels of job satisfaction. To accomplish this goal, this study makes connections between previous research conducted by the Kansas Bar Association, and more recent survey data modeled after the original KBA research. Underlying structures and ingrained interactions are examined quantitatively, to gain a better understanding of the gendered processes that women experience within the profession of law in Kansas.

Marked by an ambivalence of vocations, the Brazilian Bar Association managed to move self confidently between corporate and institutional interests. It is by taking advantage of this characteristic and its history, mainly related to conflicts of legal and democratic nature, that we are motivated to immerse into a universe of this sui generis institution, drawing Law and Policy closer in such a way that they seem inseparable. The chosen arena, the Constituent of 1987, brings all the characteristic features of a good political novel , full of alliances and strategies. The topic that we report as ideal is the analysis of questions which involve setting up a Constitutional Court, proposed by the association, which went through procedures in the Subcommittee of the Judicial Power and the Public Prosecutor. One of the main obstacles was the centuries-old tradition of the Supreme Constitutional Court, an organ of the Judicial Power, which would be substituted, if the progressive intent of the Bar Association in Brazil had been successful. Moreover, taking this into account, we attempt to clarify which factors contributed to this frustration, even knowing that approximately 75% (seventy five percent) of the constituents belonging to the Subcommittee were professionally declared as lawyers. / A presente pesquisa tem como enredo a atuação da Ordem dos Advogados do Brasil no Processo Constituinte de 1987/88, principal momento político do final do século XX, no Brasil. Marcada por uma ambivalência de vocações, a OAB consegue transitar com tamanha desenvoltura entre os interesses corporativos e institucionais. É aproveitando dessa característica e de sua trajetória, principalmente, relacionada aos embates de natureza jurídica e democrática, que nos motivamos a imergir no universo dessa instituição sui generis, aproximando o direito e a política, de tal forma que parecem indissociáveis. A arena de atuação escolhida, a Constituinte de 1987, traz todos os elementos caracterizadores de um bom romance político, recheado de alianças e estratégias. O recorte temático que reportamos como ideal é a análise das questões que envolveram a criação de um Tribunal Constitucional, proposta pela Ordem, a qual tramitou na Subcomissão do Poder Judiciário e do Ministério Público, tendo como um dos principais obstáculos a tradição centenária do Supremo Tribunal Constitucional, órgão de cúpula do Poder Judiciário, o qual seria substituído, caso o intento progressista da OAB tivesse logrado êxito. E, nesse contexto, procuramos esclarecer quais foram, realmente, os fatores que contribuíram para essa frustração, ainda mais sabendo que cerca de 75% (setenta e cinco por cento) dos constituintes pertencentes àquela Subcomissão haviam se declarado profissionalmente como advogados.
