It is no secret to any person, the large variety of individuals who have been led to examine Legislation, not only for the status created by remaining regarded as a attorney, but also for their expertise of legislation, political science administration or circumstances private which direct them to research the legal sciences as a initial or 2nd possibility of know-how.

It is no top secret to anybody, the massive selection of men and women who have been led to analyze Legislation, not only for the prestige produced by being recognized as a law firm, but also for their knowledge of law, political science administration or predicaments particular which lead them to review the lawful sciences as a initial or next option of know-how.
In former many years it was an honor to have medical practitioners and lawyers in families viewed as classic careers the place mom and dad felt very pleased that their young children chose these professions to continue their college reports and were valued as the first professions to review.
Therefore we see that youthful persons who depart high college choose for Law, as industry experts who decide for a next job and who exhibit desire in the job of the formal and non-public legislation colleges of our place to study the job, which currently has about 28, 230 legal professionals with suitability according to the figures of the portal of the Judicial Authority, issued by the Supreme Courtroom of Justice right up until the year 2022.
I make this preamble mainly because it is vital to talk about world reforms to Legislation 9 of 1984 and that there is now a monthly bill offered by the National Bar Association in the National Assembly, which helps make a wide discussion necessary and appropriate not only for the value of the authorized query, but for the relevance of the suitable concerns that should be launched in the aforementioned regulation, mainly because the difficulty is not the amount of lawyers, but instead the excellent of the attorneys we are instruction in formal and personal universities.
The problem is qualitative and not quantitative, it is critical to make improvements to the high quality of law teaching and this is achieved as a result of the academy and with the participation of universities, helpful nationwide and intercontinental accreditations.
With just one search at the data of recent decades on new skills, testifying to an raise in the quantity of graduates from official and personal universities, but how can this good quality discovering be strengthened in the legal instruction of legal professionals? With a bar exam, we need to review the reply and build roadmaps to abide by to increase the excellent of legal training and ample schooling for current and upcoming generations.
A new legal specialist or a person who has been practising for years, should be consistently studying, going through continuous and up-to-date teaching to deliver a high quality lawful support in all branches of law, a problem that, in the aforementioned reforms, presents by itself as a trouble that is generated by the amount of new generations of attorneys and not by those people properly trained in past yrs and by the authorities in workplace.
With many years of encounter as a law professor and as a former justice of the peace of the Courtroom of Honor, I believe that it is quite needed and correct to converse about reforms to the Law of Authorized Professions and to guidance the task promoted by the president of the Countrywide Bar Association, Dr. Juan Carlos Araoz. Nevertheless, we see with issue how the Countrywide Assembly approves the draft in the to start with discussion with no in depth consultation of legal professionals, teachers, professors, students and practitioners of the regulation of the Judiciary and the General public Prosecutor, who will by some means be governed by the lawful provision in concern.
Let’s say this, right after obtaining participated in the blue room in April and in other very tiny meetings in which the deputies have been advised to build a subcommittee to explore the preliminary undertaking and make far more contributions on topics these as, for case in point, the exception of continuous training for magistrates and judges when they are the first to set the instance of lifelong studying and who will acquire care of the evaluation and continuing training.
Crucial elements these kinds of as the placement of a bar test for new legal professionals, which is not restrictive for the suitability of new legal professionals, training in the Higher Institute of the Magistracy or the Bar Affiliation without this becoming a way to produce earnings at the price of some attorneys who most likely can’t bear these fees forever, are some of the concerns that really should be mentioned thoroughly among the legal professionals and future attorneys, but especially in academia to improve and I strongly insist on the lawful coaching of properly trained and trainee legal professionals in specialization levels, masters and doctorates
And over all the advancement of the educational high quality of the training of legal professionals, which inspite of becoming a issue of excellent and academic accreditation need to be weighed in community and private universities wherever qualifications are not able to be awarded, with out a correct awareness of the rules, honoring the phrase. that it is unethical to be a lawyer without the need of awareness of regulation, which is 1 of the arguments place forward by the promoters of the task.
Faced with the troubles outlined, it is needed to reflect on a wide debate on the reforms and I change to the National Bar Affiliation, the Countrywide Affiliation of Jurists of Panama, the Higher Institute of the Judiciary, the Universities, the Judicial Part, the learners and regulation professors to examine the troubles of reforms this kind of as the unlawful exercising of the profession, the sanctions of the Court docket of Honor, the compulsory education and learning, the lack of skilled ethics and exemplary sanctions for offenders, the enhancement of the way of advertising and marketing , available continuing education and learning and genuine tutorial quality in law teaching with proper slicing-edge methodology and cutting-edge know-how, renewing a job that considerably from disappearing, will have to hold up-to-day with the finest excellent requirements to supply an efficient legal provider and efficient that today’s market place needs as a 21st century advocate.
