国际法视野下中国律师业自治的现状与未来

Current Situation and Future of China's Lawyering Autonomy in the View of International Law

实现律师自治是现代法治的要求,也是国际法上对律师职业作用的基本立场。该文通过分析联合国《关于律师作用的基本原则》的内容,结合国际法中对律师作用的基本界定,总结我国法律法规对律师作用和律师职业的规定,明确我国在法律层面上契合了国际法中对律师业自治的内涵。但由于历史和现实体制的原因,导致律师业自治局面出现国家中心主义色彩的自我管理、淡化内部视角的自我监督、缺少组织依托的自我保护等现状。对此需要淡化国家中心主义色彩,增强自我管理的能力;建立行业内部评价体系,改善自我监督疲软现状;依托律师业自治组织,加强自我保护的力度,从而有助于促进法律职业共同体的形成。

To realize lawyering autonomy is both the damand of modern rule of law and the basic standpoint of international law on lawyers＇ role. By analyzing UN Basic Principles on the Role of Lawyers and in light of the basic definition of lawyers＇ role in the international law, this paper sums up the the lawyers＇ role and lawyering stipulation in the laws of China and points out that on the legal level laws of China agree with the intention of the international law on lawyering autonomy. However, owing to the historic and present institutional reasons, the current trends are self-government of state-centerism, self-supervision of weak internal perspective, self-protection of lacking organizational support. In view of the current situation,we need to enhance the self-government by lessening state-centerism, to improve the weak self-supervision by building a internal evaluation system, and to reinforce the self-protection by relying on the autonomous lawyering organization to promote the formation of lawyering community.
