Regulation of the legal profession

One of the key challenges for the South Pacific legal profession which was identified at the 2007 South Pacific Forum, was the effective regulation and administration of the legal profession. Bar leaders reported significant difficulties in establishing and maintaining complaints and discipline structures, enforcing existing legal professional rules and working with government to establish or refine laws governing the legal profession.

On this page, the South Pacific Lawyers' Association hopes to compile resources which may assist developing law societies and bar associations in the regulation of their profession.
