This comprehensive book delves into comparative analyses on issues in lawyer regulation across various jurisdictions, including England and Wales, Japan, Myanmar, New Zealand, and Singapore. It offers a rich exploration of the lawyer disciplinary systems in these countries through diverse and comparative perspectives, enriching the literature on legal ethics. The contributions also highlight areas for future research regarding the legal and other professions in different jurisdictions, as well as the methodologies that can be applied.

Chapters in the book examine common challenges faced by lawyer disciplinary systems worldwide, such as:

Transparency of regulatory outcomes, which varies widely and presents challenges in assessing the effectiveness of lawyer regulatory systems. Whether systems tend to prioritize the protection of lawyers or if a shift from self-regulation to independent regulators leads to better outcomes.

Changes in the demographics of the legal profession and regulatory changes that pose challenges in conducting longitudinal studies of regulatory systems. The disciplining of repeat actors raises questions about the deterrence goals of a regulatory system.

Deviation of systems that maintain tight state control over the legal profession from both United Nations and other international norms for lawyer discipline. The role of pro bono obligations and the discourse around legal ethics.

Regulating Lawyers Through Disciplinary Systems serves as an invaluable resource for scholars, practitioners, and regulators of the legal profession, as well as those interested in legal and other professional ethics. Originally published as a special issue of the International Journal of the Legal Profession, this book offers a comprehensive and insightful examination of the dynamics of lawyer regulation across different jurisdictions.
