One or Many Legal Professions? What Does the Future Hold?
Pouvoirs n°140 - janvier 2012 - p.5-14
Reflecting about the future of legal professions offers us a good
example of the kind of difficulties any project of reform is confronted
with in France. While everybody acknowledges the necessity to adapt
our legal system to a globalized economic world undergoing radical
transformation, it is extremely difficult, or even impossible, to meet
such a unanimous opinion when the time has come to act. Being deeply
attached to the rule of civil law, France seems reluctant to accept the
changes that would allow it to regain her former position within the
world legal community. Too busy confronting each other in order to
protect what they see as impregnable fortresses, the different legal professions
remain blind to the changes that have first imposed on the
economic world the influence of Anglo-Saxon law and its methods,
and will tomorrow impose the influence from Asia.
