Deferring to the ‘unlearned’ friend: professional ethics and the unrepresented litigant 尊重“没有学问”的朋友:职业道德和没有律师代表的诉讼当事人

ABSTRACT Courts are starting to keep data about the numbers of litigants who personally file court documents and appear without counsel. The growth in numbers of unrepresented litigants is aptly described as a phenomenon and can be attributed to various causes. Whether or not it is a ‘problem’ however, is arguable. This article explores the concept of the unrepresented litigant in a strange and unnavigable milieu and the ethical duties of lawyers as officers of the court in that context. Focussing on Australian examples, the primary aim of the article is to highlight the lack of guidance in both codes of ethical conduct and judicial commentary on ethical issues for lawyers faced with an unrepresented opponent. Ethical issues at various stages of the dispute resolution process are discussed, including the complexities involved with unbundled legal services. The author argues that as an officer of the court, counsel should assist the judicial officer and consider the situation through a lens of ethical reasoning, while recognising the dilemma this can pose for lawyers who must respect their duties to their own clients. The article concludes that lawyers must abide by their ethical responsibilities whether or not the opponent has representation, while acknowledging that this may be challenging for a variety of reasons. It also suggests that the absence of any reference to unrepresented litigants in ethical codes of conduct should be addressed.
摘要法院开始保留有关亲自提交法庭文件和在没有律师的情况下出庭的诉讼当事人人数的数据。无人代表诉讼当事人人数的增长被恰当地描述为一种现象,可以归因于各种原因。然而,这是否是一个“问题”,还有待商榷。本文探讨了在一个陌生和不可航行的环境中无代表诉讼人的概念,以及在这种背景下律师作为法院官员的道德义务。文章以澳大利亚的例子为重点,主要目的是强调在面对无人代表的对手时,在道德行为准则和关于律师道德问题的司法评论方面都缺乏指导。讨论了纠纷解决过程各个阶段的道德问题,包括未捆绑的法律服务所涉及的复杂性。提交人认为,作为法院官员,律师应协助司法官员,并从道德推理的角度考虑情况,同时认识到这可能给必须尊重其对自己客户的义务的律师带来的困境。文章的结论是,无论对手是否有代表,律师都必须遵守他们的道德责任,同时承认这可能因各种原因而具有挑战性。它还建议,应解决道德行为准则中没有提及无人代表的诉讼当事人的问题。

Elder abuse and lawyers’ ethical responsibilities: incorporating screening into practice 虐待老年人与律师的道德责任:将筛查纳入实践
IF 1 Q3 Arts and Humanities Pub Date : 2018-01-02 DOI: 10.1080/1460728x.2018.1502965

ABSTRACT Elder abuse is a serious and under-detected problem. Law reform agencies and legal profession regulatory authorities have called for action to ensure that lawyers meet their ethical obligations to older clients, including identifying and acting on risk factors for abuse. Screening tools to detect situations of elder abuse exist, but they are targeted mainly at health and social care practitioners. Drawing on international literature, this article identifies and discusses screening tools that could be adapted for use by legal professionals. Three general categories of screening are relevant for lawyers who serve older clients: (1) elder abuse screening tools that cover all domains of abuse or target specific behaviours, such as financial exploitation; (2) screening for decision-making capacity, especially taking account of the impact of abuse or neglect on capacity; and (3) screening to probe the suitability of a person to act in a formal decision-making role for an older person. The article emphasises the importance of implementing screening processes and follow-up actions in a manner that fosters a therapeutic relationship between the older client and the lawyer. It concludes with recommendations for further research in this important area.
摘要虐待老人是一个严重且未被发现的问题。法律改革机构和法律职业监管机构呼吁采取行动,确保律师履行对老年客户的道德义务,包括识别虐待的风险因素并采取行动。存在检测虐待老年人情况的筛查工具,但它们主要针对卫生和社会护理从业者。本文借鉴国际文献,确定并讨论了可供法律专业人员使用的筛选工具。三大类筛查适用于为老年客户服务的律师:(1)涵盖所有虐待领域或针对特定行为(如金融剥削)的老年虐待筛查工具;(2) 筛选决策能力,特别是考虑到滥用或忽视对能力的影响;以及(3)筛选,以调查一个人是否适合担任老年人的正式决策角色。文章强调了实施筛查流程和后续行动的重要性,以促进老年客户和律师之间的治疗关系。最后提出了在这一重要领域进行进一步研究的建议。

Interviewing real clients and the ways it deepens students’ understandings of legal ethics 采访真实客户及其加深学生对法律伦理理解的方法
IF 1 Q3 Arts and Humanities Pub Date : 2018-01-02 DOI: 10.1080/1460728x.2018.1503005

ABSTRACT Legal ethics teaching can be enriched and deepened when students experience legal practice through, for example, client interviews. Further, many legal educators are committed to encouraging their students’ commitment to contribute to the community through making the law and legal system fairer. One means of achieving this goal is by introducing a clinical component into a legal ethics course. Empirical research conducted with current students in Australia, analyses students’ changing understandings of ethical values and practice when conducting legal interviews. The article discusses the relationship between an ‘ethic of care’ and concepts of ‘justice’, examined through students’ experiences of client interviewing. It also examines students’ commitment to the justice system, including the finding that their commitment to making law fairer is reinforced through working with disadvantaged clients.
摘要:学生通过客户访谈等方式体验法律实践,可以丰富和深化法律伦理教学。此外,许多法律教育工作者致力于鼓励学生通过使法律和法律体系更加公平来为社区做出贡献。实现这一目标的一种方法是在法律伦理课程中引入临床部分。对澳大利亚在校学生进行的实证研究分析了学生在进行法律面试时对道德价值观和实践的理解变化。本文通过学生的客户访谈经历,探讨了“关怀伦理”与“正义”概念之间的关系。它还考察了学生对司法系统的承诺,包括通过与弱势客户合作,他们对使法律更公平的承诺得到了加强。

‘He was wearing street clothes, not pyjamas’: common mistakes in lawyers’ assessment of legal capacity for vulnerable older clients “他穿着便服,没穿睡衣”:律师在评估弱势老年客户的法律行为能力时常犯的错误

ABSTRACT Lawyers are increasingly called upon to deal with older clients and have ethical responsibilities to attest to their capacity for legal decision-making. As witnesses to enduring documents, the making of wills and other significant advance planning transactions, lawyers play a role in preventing elder abuse and in upholding the rights of older people. To date however, there has been very little empirical research examining how lawyers assess an older person’s legal decision-making capacity. This article presents research examining three years of capacity complaints made to the New South Wales Office of Legal Services Commissioner. Four case studies from the complaint files expose some common failings in the way that lawyers interact with older clients who have experienced cognitive impairment. The process of capacity assessment is viewed through the theoretical lens of vulnerability to highlight how the actions of lawyers and regulators can exacerbate the inherent and situational vulnerability of older people with a cognitive impairment. The author argues that improvements in capacity guidelines, legal education and robust enforcement of ethical rules are required to safeguard the rights of older clients and help prevent abuse. The findings will have implications for lawyers and regulators everywhere dealing with an ageing population.
越来越多的律师被要求与老年客户打交道,并有道德责任证明他们的法律决策能力。律师作为持久文件、立遗嘱和其他重大预先规划交易的证人,在防止虐待老年人和维护老年人权利方面发挥着作用。然而,迄今为止,很少有实证研究调查律师如何评估老年人的法律决策能力。本文提出了研究审查三年的能力投诉作出了法律服务专员新南威尔士州办公室。投诉文件中的四个案例研究揭示了律师在与有认知障碍的老年客户互动时的一些常见失误。通过脆弱性的理论视角来看待能力评估的过程,以强调律师和监管机构的行为如何加剧认知障碍老年人固有的和情境的脆弱性。作者认为,需要改进能力指导方针、法律教育和强有力地执行道德规则,以保障老年客户的权利并帮助防止虐待。这些发现将对各地处理人口老龄化问题的律师和监管机构产生影响。

Germany: towards a legal profession of specialists? 德国:走向专家法律职业?
IF 1 Q3 Arts and Humanities Pub Date : 2017-07-03 DOI: 10.1080/1460728x.2017.1405782

On 1 January 2018 an omnibus law dealing with issues ranging from construction law to the use of digital seals for the land register will introduce changes to the federal law on the constitution of the courts (Gerichtsverfassungsgesetz). It will establish specialised chambers at the High Courts (Landgerichte) and specialised senates at the Courts of Appeal (Oberlandesgerichte) for a number of areas of law. Specialisation is one of the defining developments of the German legal profession of the past decades. It will for the first time make significant inroads into the courts of general jurisdiction (Gerichte der ordentlichen Gerichtsbarkeit). Disputes arising from banking and financial transactions, from construction and architectural contracts, from therapeutic treatments by health professionals and arising from relationships governed by insurance contracts will henceforth be heard at specialised chambers and senates every court has to establish pursuant to the new law. While special branches of the courts of general jurisdiction were established in the past – the family court (Familiengericht), the insolvency court (Insolvenzgericht), the criminal court (Strafgericht) – because of their specific procedural rules, no similar rationale existed for the specialisation within the main branch of the courts of general jurisdiction that hears cases according to the Code of Civil Procedure (Zivilprozessordnung). While some informal specialisation was possible through the assignment of cases to a specific chamber or senate, this was a decision each court would make independently and could alter on an annual basis. The general idea was, however, that judges should be able to hear all kinds of civil cases. This approach pretty much was in line with the traditional concept of legal practice and legal education in Germany: Well into the twentieth century, being a lawyer meant for most practitioners being a generalist dealing with various areas of law. This was, to a certain degree, the logical continuation of the philosophy behind legal education in Germany: With a state legal examination instead of university degrees in law (which typically allow students some specialisation on preferred subjects) and a post-graduate legal clerkship (Rechtsferendariat) that covers the practice of all the main legal professions
2018年1月1日,一项涉及从建筑法到土地登记数字印章使用等问题的综合法律将对联邦法院宪法进行修改(Gerichtsverfasungsgesetz)。它将在高等法院(Landgerichte)设立专门的分庭,并在上诉法院(Oberlandesgerichte)设立多个法律领域的专门参议院。专业化是过去几十年来德国法律职业的决定性发展之一。它将首次在具有一般管辖权的法院取得重大进展(Gerichte der ordentlichen Gerichtsbarkit)。银行和金融交易、建筑和建筑合同、卫生专业人员的治疗以及保险合同管辖的关系引起的争议,将在每个法院必须根据新法律设立的专门分庭和参议院进行审理。虽然过去设立了具有一般管辖权的法院的特别分支机构——家庭法院(Familiengericht)、破产法院(Insolvenzgericht,根据《民事诉讼法》(Zivilprozessordnung)审理案件的一般管辖法院的主要分支内部不存在类似的专门化理由。虽然可以通过将案件分配给特定的议院或参议院来进行一些非正式的专门化,但这是每个法院将独立做出的决定,并且可以每年进行更改。然而,总的想法是,法官应该能够审理各种民事案件。这种方法在很大程度上符合德国法律实践和法律教育的传统概念:早在二十世纪,作为一名律师,对大多数从业者来说意味着成为一名处理各种法律领域的多面手。在某种程度上,这是德国法律教育背后哲学的逻辑延续:通过国家法律考试而不是大学法律学位(通常允许学生在首选科目上有一些专业化),以及涵盖所有主要法律职业实践的研究生法律文书(Rechtsferendariat)

The unprofessional professional: do lawyers need rules? 不专业的专业人士:律师需要规则吗?

ABSTRACT A lawyer's behaviour derives from their own principles and values, the norms of professionalism, the professional conduct rules and the common law. In the past, much emphasis has been placed upon the first two sources as they formed the basis of self-regulation and influenced the development of legal ethics. Recently, the Australian codes of ethics explicitly detail an increasing range of duties which might reasonably have been thought to be implicit characteristics of sound ethical values and professionalism, for example, a duty to be civil, and an explicit prohibition against harassment, intimidation and bullying. Such additions have been deemed necessary as a response to increasing concerns about lawyer incivility and empirical reports detailing high levels of harassment, intimidation and bullying within law firms. We suggest that the expansion of duties in the codes raises intriguing and troubling questions: Does the expansion of duties in the codes suggest that lawyers, as a group, need rules to act virtuously and professionally? And if so, has this always been the case, or have external factors such as an increasingly complex environment, the rise of commercialism and an increasingly diverse profession, changed the way lawyers see themselves both as moral agents and as professionals?
律师的行为源于其自身的原则和价值观、职业规范、职业行为准则和普通法。过去,人们非常重视前两个来源,因为它们构成了自我监管的基础,并影响了法律伦理的发展。最近,澳大利亚的道德准则明确规定了越来越多的义务,这些义务可能被合理地认为是健全的道德价值观和专业精神的隐含特征,例如,公民义务,以及明确禁止骚扰、恐吓和欺凌。这些补充被认为是必要的,以回应人们对律师不文明行为的日益担忧,以及详细描述律师事务所内部高度骚扰、恐吓和欺凌的实证报告。我们认为,法典中职责的扩大提出了有趣而令人不安的问题:法典中职责范围的扩大是否表明,律师作为一个群体,需要规则来道德和专业地行事?如果是这样的话,是不是一直都是这样,还是越来越复杂的环境、商业主义的兴起和越来越多样化的职业等外部因素改变了律师将自己视为道德代理人和专业人士的方式?
